The Gills Creek Watershed Association (GCWA) is continuing its efforts to create a watershed clean-up plan, as well as an outreach campaign. Over the next 6 months, you will see and hear more information about our watershed, it's problems, and the solutions which will protect and improve it.
Upper Rockyford Lake Board members Amy Maxwell and Thom Bristol are active on the steering committee for the GCWA. They will keep you updated as events are planned and as the plan evolves.
The first event which you might want to participate in is the September 15th River Sweep. Sponsored by Keep the Midlands Beautiful, the Gills Creek Watershed was added in 2006 as a clean up site.
This year, volunteers are encouraged to meet in the parking lot of the K-Mart at 4400 Ft. Jackson Blvd by 8:45 a.m. on Sept. 15th.
