Getting Involved

There are a number of ways members of the community can become involved in their watershed. One thing to remember is that a little help can go a long way. Citizens action can range from attending a watershed to not using pesticides or fertilizers on your lawn to just picking up your dog's doo-doo.

Here are a few websites that can help you do something for your community and your watershed.
