The results are becoming apparent as the watercourse begins to once again take on the characteristics of a meandering, cold water creek. Silting has been reduced and the water temperature has dropped. Significant cold-water habitat and indicator species are in evidence. With continued effort by adjacent landowners and the WCIA plus lack of disturbance, the Creek may soon be able once again to sustain brook trout. The WCIA is locally based, but its concerns for the local ecology have worldwide implications.
Communities can make a difference in the quality of their local environment.
