The Marsh Creek Watershed Council is a voluntary, non-regulatory forum to achieve integrated, long-term watershed planning, management and funding, and increase communication and access to information regarding the watershed.
Meetings are held once a month and typically alternate between virtual Zoom meetings and in-person field trips throughout the watershed. The Zoom meetings are held on the last Tuesday of the month from 4:00 to 5:30pm.
The 2025 MCWC Zoom meetings are planned to occur on January 28th, March 25th, May 27th, July 29th, and October 28th. Field trips and/or in-person meetings will be scheduled during the months between. The MCWC will not meet or have field trips during the months of August or December.
