Watershed Enhancements Workdays

Restoring natural areas in the watershed helps to reduce flooding and restore ground water levels. Stream bank and wetland enhancements provide habitat for waterfowl and other wetland dependent wildlife. A few hours of your time working on natural areas restoration can have a big impact on long term water quality.
