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.
JCWA is sad to hear about the passing of Sam Petrill. Sam loved nature and was a good friend of JCWA. He was deeply committed to making Greenlick a safe and accessible place for fishing, and he was very involved in JCWA's Fishing Derby and Mentored Youth Trout Day programs. Please keep his family in your hearts. To plant a memorial tree in his honor, view the information below: legcy.co/3v4ISvM

It is Earth Month and every small step you take makes an impact🌎 Did you know that the average American family takes home almost 1,500 plastic shopping bags a year? According to Waste Management, only 1 percent of plastic bags are returned for recycling. That means that the average family only recycles 15 bags a year; the rest end up in landfills or as litter.
Make a small change and use reusable bags! JCWA has partnered with Nicole Seese to sell reusable bags for Earth Day from ThirtyOne. Use the link below and JCWA will receive 100% of the profit. Plus, you'll be doing your part to reduce your carbon footprint!
