Conservation & Rehabilitation
In our hands, we hold the power to protect, conserve, restore and rehabilitate our creek. JCWA works with many partners to complete large and small projects in our watershed. Click for link to our Project work.
Natural Resources
Through the dedication to research, sampling, monitoring and analysis, JCWA is working hard to understand the ecology of our creek. Data drives our work and our projects. Click for link to our stream conditions website.
Education & Recreation
Through education and recreation, we bring people to the creek or the creek to our students. People use the creek from a variety of recreational outlets, JCWA host events focused on that shared resource. Click here for Recreation.
Thank you to Morgan Riddle, a Southmoreland Middle School student, who graciously donated and installed a Little Free Library at Jacobs Creek Park near Greenlick Lake.
Morgan loves to read and wanted to donate her used books to a worthwhile cause. She loves Jacobs Creek Park and thought it would be the perfect location for a free library.
Thank you, Morgan, for your contribution to our watershed community!
If you haven’t already, stop by Jacobs Creek Park and start exchanging books📚
