Hopland Research and Extension Center (HREC).
HREC is the University of California's principal field

PROTECTING OUR WATERSHED


With our home in the Russian River watershed, we recognize
the importance of water stewardship. 21 employees engaged
with the Clean River Alliance to clean up an area of the
Russian River south of Hopland.
The Clean River Alliance operates as a non-profit
organization under the fiscal sponsorship of Russian
Riverkeeper, which advocates for conservation and protection
of the Russian River’s main stem, tributaries and watershed.

WHY DID WE DO THIS?


We believe in partnering with people
and organizations in our community
who foster collaborative and creative
approaches to business while
benefiting society. By mobilizing our
workforce and creating an army of
volunteers, we are giving back to the
communities in which we live and
work. This is one of the many ways we
fulfill our B Corp commitment to use
business as a force for good.
