Wolf Creek Stream Team
Begun in 2002, there are currently ten volunteers that collect stream quality data at five sites along Wolf Creek, each month from April through October.  Data has been collected consistently since 2003, and is managed by the Education Specialist at the District office.  There are also quarterly meetings and newsletters.  This initiative is an opportunity to learn more about water quality in the communities of Brookville, Clayton, Trotwood, and Perry Township.  The best contribution that Stream Team members give is as educated citizens involved in their community's decision-making processes, regarding how development affects water quality.  Training is available at no charge, and other volunteer jobs are available besides stream monitoring.
 

Pond Clinic
Each spring the District partners with Preble Soil and Water Conservation District to host a seminar for pond owners.  Topics covered usually include construction, vegetation and fish management, and liability issues.  Contact the office for the current year's event information.
 

Spring Plant Sale
This is an annual spring fund raiser for the District's Education program.  It also is a cost effective way for homeowners to implement conservation-conscious landscaping. The important aspect of using plants native to Ohio, is that not only can you create an aesthetically pleasing surrounding, but also provide food and shelter for native species of birds, butterflies and other beneficial insects.  Furthermore, once established, native plant communities require little or no maintenance in terms of weeding, fertilizers, pesticides, or watering.  See the home page of this web site for details about this year's sale.
 

River Cleanups
The District has partnered with other conservation organizations in the Miami Valley since 2001, to conduct annual river cleanups by canoe on the Stillwater and Great Miami Rivers.  Experienced canoeists are needed each year in June for the Stillwater and July for the Great Miami River cleanup events.  Canoes provided or you may bring your own.  Watch newspapers and this web site for more information in late spring.
 

Annual Meeting
Each September the District hosts a banquet with keynote speaker and other activities to review our accomplishments for the year.  Conservation practice 'Cooperators' and other conservation-minded community members are invited to attend.
