WATER: The Most Basic Human Need, and it Needs Our Help.
This year, PRWC must raise $175,000 to protect and restore this essential system.
-
$16,000 will support the eradication of the invasive Water Chestnut plant threatening Lake Zoar, Lake Stibbs and connected waterways.
-
$96,000 will fund rain garden repairs and new installations at three locations within the Watershed to trap and filter polluted storm water before it reaches our rivers and streams.
-
The remaining funds will sustain education, outreach, monitoring and operating expenses that allow our small but mighty team to continue assessing stream health, engaging volunteers and responding to emerging environmental needs.
Federal and state funding has become increasingly competitive and uncertain. We need people who live within the Watershed, you, to take part in our mission to protect our shared water resources.
Whether you give your time, talent, or treasure, every contribution matters. A $5 gift will supply a plant, provide clean-up materials, or support community education. You are part of this fragile and incredible ecosystem.
Your actions protect clean water today and for generations to come. Together, we can ensure our watershed and all who depend on it continue to thrive.
