Improving local water quality
The Brushy Creek Watershed Protection Plan is a voluntary, stakeholder-driven effort focused on identifying water quality concerns and developing locally supported strategies to protect and improve water resources throughout the watershed. Residents, landowners, local officials and others interested in protecting water quality in the Brushy Creek watershed are invited to attend.
Stakeholder participation is a critical component of the planning process to ensure local priorities and knowledge are incorporated into watershed management recommendations.
During the meeting, participants will learn about ongoing watershed protection planning efforts, discuss water quality concerns and provide input that will help guide development of the WPP.
Stakeholder participation is encouraged, as local knowledge and perspectives are essential to developing practical, effective strategies to protect and improve water quality throughout the watershed.
