LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, November 17, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Loyola Marymount University on Wednesday, Nov. 16, offered a discussion and free public screening of the documentary “California’s Watershed Healing,” which examines the precarious conditions of the state’s forests, and offers solutions for sustainable land management and restoration of the Sierra Nevada watershed.

The National Integrated Drought Information System reports that 99.76% of California is experiencing moderate to exceptional drought. The Sierra Nevada watershed, which supplies water to more than 75% of California, has been neglected and mismanaged for decades, according to the Little Hoover Commission. Further compounding these issues is the climate crisis that has impacted the forest ecosystem and snowpack.
