The Davis Creek Watershed Association is a non-profit, all-volunteer group working to improve environmental quality in the Davis Creek watershed in Kanawha County, West Virginia. We are located near Charleston and South Charleston on the south side of the Kanawha River.
MISSION STATEMENT
The goal of the Davis Creek Watershed Association is to protect and improve the environmental quality of the Davis Creek watershed through community action, education and outreach, and cooperative efforts with landowners, businesses, and governmental agencies.
Toward that goal, our volunteers conduct stream and roadside cleanups, cleanups of illegal dump sites, lead educational activities, work cooperatively with landowners to promote good land stewardship and, when necessary, work with appropriate local and state governmental agencies on law enforcement matters. We have conducted water quality monitoring since 1996 and we currently participate in the West Virginia Save Our Streams program.
OUR TRASH TALLY TO DATE: 238.5 tons of trash and 1,534+ tires.
COMING EVENTS:
SPRING CLEANUP TO BE HELD ON SATURDAY,
APRIL 17TH
On Saturday, April 17th we will sponsor our annual spring watershed cleanup in cooperation with the West Virginia "Make It Shine" statewide cleanup program.
We encourage everyone to join us for a day of community service to improve the environmental quality of our watershed. Volunteers should meet at the W. Q. Watters Company building on Davis Creek Road/Route 20 (also known as Kanawha Forest Drive) at 8:00 a.m.
