Every piece of land we walk on, drive over, or build upon is part of a watershed - an area of land that drains all the streams and rainfall to a common outlet. From constructing new roads and buildings, to clearing vegetation and redirecting natural water flow, each decision affects the quality of the water that flows into our streams, lakes, and groundwater. These impacts accumulate, shaping the health of our local environment and the communities that rely on it. By becoming more aware of how our everyday choices influence the watershed, we can take steps—both big and small—to protect and preserve it for future generations.
