The purpose of the Association is to promote stewardship of, to protect and to enhance the watersheds of northeastern Northampton County which include: Slateford Creek, Jacoby Creek, Allegheny Creek,
Oughoughton Creek, Little Martins Creek, Martins Creek, Waltz Creek, and Mud Run and others.

Protect

Our activities help keep the waters of our local creeks cold and clean, making them a haven for native fish and other wildlife.

Enhance

We carry out streambank plantings and watershed clean-ups to enhance natural ecosystems.

Steward

Our volunteers do community outreach and education on watershed issues. We also advocate for watershed protection with local governments.

Objectives

  • Develop and present educational programs on watershed management for schools, civic organizations, local governments and the general public.
  • Provide a forum for sharing information and experiences on watershed management.
  • Develop and implement local restoration and protection programs in accordance with appropriate management strategies and techniques.
  • Support state, and national programs, policies and legislation promoting watershed and water resource management.
  • Develop and influence local programs, policies and legislation promoting watershed and water resource management.
  • Facilitate cooperation and interaction with organizations, agencies, units of government, and individuals concerned with watershed improvement and protection.
  • Promote enforcement of laws and legislation designed to protect watersheds.
