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.

Wow! Have you seen crayfish eggs before?🦞Have you ever seen a crayfish with eggs attached to her tail? Our Pittsburgh area educator found this crayfish this week. A female crayfish with eggs attached to the underside of her tail is said to be "in berry". Do you think they look like berries? After the young crayfish hatch they still remain attached to the underside of the female's tale for a short time (you are lucky if you have witnessed this!). The young hatchlings may stay with the mother even after they are no longer physically attached. Post your crayfish photos!
