Johnson Creek Watershed Alliance

The Johnson Creek Watershed Alliance / JCWA was established in 2014 as a chapter of the Rock River Coalition by local people concerned about water quality and enhancing the value of the creek through education and stewardship. The focus of our local chapter is best described in our chapter goals:

  • Develop clear action plans for attainable goals over the next 3-5 years.
  • Learn about the creek’s ecology, challenges and potential:
    • Develop plan to survey the creek and the riparian corridor.
    • Develop a RRC citizen stream monitoring team.
  • Maintain a dynamic chapter, reaching out through the web, social media and marketing to our Village, our schools and surrounding community.
  • Educate local residents about the creek, its location, history and importance:
    • Annual Stream Clean-up starting in 2015 to coincide with the Rock River Sweep.
  • Establish solid partnerships with groups to work together to protect and improve the creek.
  • Understand and enlist support of the agricultural community in the watershed.
  • Restore free flow in the creek.
  • Develop a water quality improvement strategy and begin implementation.
