Watershed Monitoring and Planning

 

     The watersheds in which we live are important to our health, economy and quality of life.  Our watershed protection grants and projects involve taking inventory of what we have, the health and quality of the systems, and planning ways of decision making that maintain the benefits of a healthy, active watershed.  You can get involved as a volunteer or as an active group.
