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
