Leading Creek Watershed: Live and In Person

As one of Rural Action's partner watersheds, Leading Creek was fortunate to receive an Americorps volunteer over the next year as a part of our new Watershed Americorps Program. Under the leadership of watershed coordinator Raina Fulks, Karla Sanders has wasted no time making the most out of her service year by rolling out two substantial initiatives in working toward greater outreach and reclamation in the communities of Leading Creek.

The first initiative is the creation of the Leading Creek Citizens Committee (LCCC), a group of involved community members with an eye toward lasting stewardship and increased citizen interaction with both the Leading Creek Watershed and their neighbors.

Regular meetings are already being held and positive feedback from both local citizens and the media is quickly making the LCCC a group to watch!

And "how do I watch them?" I hear you asking, well the answer can be found in Karla's other new project, the creation of the Leading Creek Watershed's very own website.

In these times a digital presence is vital in reaching people across the community and around the world. The new website can be found as a part of the Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District site and, though still under construction, is already packed to the rafters with news and information about the work being done in the Leading Creek Watershed.

Swing by to learn more about the LCCC, the geography and issues in Leading Creek, upcoming watershed events, or just to drop Karla a line with comments or questions.

Leading Creek is living up to it's name, check them out and join the movement!
