About the Council

The Banklick Watershed Council is a 501(c)3 non-profit, established in 2002.  We are a volunteer group of community members that meet every month to promote and implement projects aimed at improving the watershed.  We are always looking for people interested in watershed, water quality, or broader environmental issues.  Please contact us to see what volunteer or involvement opportunities are available. 

2020 Board Members:  Anna Kirschner (Chair), Larry Zembrodt (Vice Chair), Donna Horine (Treasurer/Secretary), Sherry Carran (Emeritus), Tom Kruer,
Kevin Miller, and Andy Videkovich.
