Improving and Restoring Banklick Creek
The Banklick Watershed Council is dedicated to restoring and protecting Banklick Creek and its tributaries. We use science-based, sustainable approaches to address the challenges facing our community waterway. Our focus is on:
- Reducing the Pollution - We work to minimize pollution from various sources, including failing septic systems, residential and commercial runoff, construction sites, and eroding stream banks.
- Restoring the Creek - Our restoration efforts aim to stabilize eroding banks, enhance fish and wildlife habitat, restore natural stream flows, and improve groundwater recharge.
- Preserving the Land - We prioritize land conservation and wetland creation to filter pollutants, provide habitat for diverse species, reduce flood risks, and stabilize the banks.
