What YOU Can Do
At Home
- Landscape your yard with native plants that require less water and fertilizer and provide food and shelter for wildlife.
- Use only organic fertilizers and pesticides in the amount that lawns and plants need.
- Minimize the use of lawn areas and impervious surfaces in your landscape.
- Install a rain garden or rain barrel at your home.
On the Farm
- Leave crop residues on the fields to reduce soil runoff and prevent sediment, fertilizers and pesticides from entering streams.
- Practice proper barnyard management.
- Install fencing and stabilized crossings to control stream access of grazing animals.
In Your Community
- Think and act as stewards of the watershed. It is a direct way to recognize the relationships and interdependence between ourselves and the water and land we depend on: Educate yourself and others about becoming stewards of your watershed.
- Protect wetlands that serve as natural buffers against pollution, soil erosion and flooding.
- Join and become active in your watershed alliance through various volunteer opportunities.
