VOLUNTEER

Month after month, volunteers make the work of the Johnson Creek Watershed Council possible. Whether it's through planting trees and removing invasive species, reviewing land use applications, planning watershed events, attending meetings or advising on restoration projects, volunteers are the heart of the Johnson Creek Watershed Council.
