Why Watersheds?

Spring is an important time to explore why our watersheds matter, and how we can help protect them. Join Julie for a walking tour to observe Turtle Creek and Kelly Creek up close, followed by a presentation from Region 1 Planning Council of Rockford to learn about local efforts to protect our waterways. This is a free, family friendly program. Donations are appreciated. Please RSVP the number of indivduals who plan to attend.
