A watershed is an area of land that captures water in any form, such as rain, snow, or dew, and drains it to a particular stream, river, or lake. All land is part of the watershed for some creek, stream, river or lake.
Brown's Creek Watershed District will be having its annual watershed district tour this Saturday, July 31st at 9am-1pm. More Info
The Brown's Creek Watershed District is made up of communities interlaced with natural corridors. These natural corridors improve the function and value of the District's water resources and support a diverse population of plants, wildlife, and fish. The District brings people and the environment together to accommodate development that preserves the connection between surface water and groundwater and enhances the quality of these resources.
Two helpful volunteers at the end of the Long Lake clean up...BCWD Board Manager Rick Vanzwol and Ellie Kill. The western Long Lake shoreline is a cleaner place thanks to all the hard work of more than a dozen volunteers on Saturday, May 1st. We removed several bags worth of garbage, a couple tires, a child's sled and lots of old scrap metal, lumber and glass from an old farm dump site.
