You can be a part of improving the river and its watershed.

Some projects take time: replacing your pavement with permeable pavers or trading your grassy lawn for a native plant or rain garden. Both help the river by reducing runoff that can carry pollutants to the river.

You can be involved by making simple choices: buy less hazardous cleaning products, limit your use of fertilizers and pesticides, and conserve water in your home.

It is important to stay informed and learn more about your impact on your watershed. And take the time to get to know your river.
