A Healthier Future for the Banklick Watershed

The Banklick Watershed Council is dedicated to preserving and restoring the natural beauty and ecological health of the Banklick Watershed. We believe that wetlands, conserved lands, and greenspaces are essential for a thriving ecosystem.

Key Benefits of Our Work:

• Cleaner Water: Stream buffers and wetlands naturally filter pollutants, improving water quality for our communities.
• Diverse Habitats: Our conserved lands provide vital habitat for a variety of wildlife.
• Reduced Flood Risk: Greenspaces help absorb excess water, mitigating flood damage.
• Enhanced Recreation: Greenspaces offer opportunities for hiking, birdwatching, and other outdoor activities.

Our Key Properties:

• Brushy Fork Nature Preserve
• Wolsing Woods & Wetland creation
• Areas around Doe Run Lake
• Petty Property

How You Can Help:

• Donate Land: Your generous donation can help protect critical habitats.
• Sell Your Land: Consider selling your land to the Council to ensure its long-term conservation.
• Conservation Easement: A conservation easement allows you to retain ownership of your land while restricting development and protecting its natural value.
