Become Stewards of Your Part of the Johnson Creek Watershed

A steward is someone who is entrusted with the preservation and protection of a natural area over a long period of time. We are all stewards of the land, air, and water around us. By living responsibly and being aware of the impact we have on our environment, we can improve and protect the natural wonders around us. Below are ways that you can become more involved as a steward for Johnson Creek.
