Protect Our Waterways Together
Protect Your Drinking Water- Protect Your Watersheds
Who We Are
The Aquashicola Pohopoco Watershed Conservancy was founded in 2001 as a watchdog organization to monitor our streams and educate our local residents on the importance of clean water. Volunteers sample selected sites for water quality, participate in stream clean-ups, roadside clean-ups, and share their knowledge and experience with others. We meet 6 times a year at the Polk Township Municipal Building (if the weather is bad we do a virtual meeting) where we get together to discuss stream monitoring, pollution and other threats, plan educational and community events, engage in improvement plans such as planting riparian barriers that act as filters for runoff into the streams, and most of all -- enjoy time with other members who appreciate and value our watershed.
Our Mission-
