Jewett
Creek
Streamkeepers
Mission Statement
The primary
mission of the Jewett Creek Streamkeepers is to coordinate efforts of concerned
citizens and organizations interested in protecting and improving the Jewett
Creek watershed. The Streamkeepers strive to maintain and enhance water
quality, fish habitat, riparian vegetation zones; promote public education;
protect land by working with recreationist and private land owners to instigate
best management practices; and continue to improve monitoring efforts in
the Jewett Creek watershed. The Streamkeepers do not regulate, but rather
educate and empower community members who are concerned with maintaining
a healthy watershed.
Who affects
the watershed?
All the
different stakeholders within the watershed affect it; therefore, a group
of people representing the various stakeholders in the watershed was created.
The Jewett Creek Streamkeepers were established in 1993 through efforts
of Whitson Elementary School, the National Fish & WildlifeFoundation,
US Fish & Wildlife Service, and the Underwood Conservation District.
Projects have included clean-ups, water quality monitoring, habitat restoration
and enhancement, and education.
