Mission
Our mission
is to ensure the restoration and protection of the Nine Mile Run Watershed
through
citizen engagement,
demonstration projects, and
advocacy.
We believe
people are inextricably linked with the
natural environment. The way we treat our lawns and gardens, what we buy,
what we throw away, the cars we drive-all of these have a profound effect
on the environment around us. Even if you never take a walk along Nine
Mile Run, what you do in your home and your neighborhood affects the health
of our stream and our watershed.
Our goal
is to give citizens the information and tools
they need to make positive changes in the watershed communities. We support
residents' efforts implement lot level solutions to stormwater problems,
provide citizen training for urban ecological stewardship, and act as an
information clearinghouse about key watershed issues.
