Rohnert Park And Cotati Creeks Council (RPACCC) is a coalition of neighborhood creek groups working together to develop a master plan for the 16-20 miles of creeks in the Rohnert Park-Cotati urban area and its watershed, protect the riparian habitat including native steelhead and salmon populations, maintain a wilderness presence in the urban environment, develop a workable flood control system that does not destroy the creeks, develop educational and recreational programs, and maintain a clean, safe creek environment with connected trails and bike paths.

RPACCC membership is free, general meetings are at creek cleanups. We are one of 14 members of the Urban Creek Councils of California and very proud to be, as of 2004, Critical Habitat for O. Mykiss (Oncorhynchus mykiss), our steelhead homies returned from near extinction.

Participant organizations include Friends of Copeland Creek, Cotati Creek Critters, Friends of Bear Park, Bellevue Creek Group, Rancho Cotate High School, and South Laguna Watershed Group
