For more than 25 years, Gills Creek Watershed Association has worked to protect the health and water quality of its 47,000-acre basin. In addition to leading stream restoration and flood mitigation projects, we engage volunteers in water quality monitoring, trash pickups, invasive plant removal, and native plant installations. We are intentional about including community members in our work; when the community is invested, the project is more sustainable.

What makes GCWA unique is the large impact we have despite our small size: we have one full-time employee and an operating budget under $150,000. We leverage every dollar donated into hundreds of hours of volunteer time and project funding through grants - all of which are invested directly into our community. Whether you join us as a member, a volunteer, or a donor (or all three!), your support truly makes a difference!
