A 100-Year Action Plan to Restore the Bowker Creek Watershed

The Bowker Creek Initiative (BCI) was established in 2004 as a coalition of community, local government, and institutions working collaboratively to protect and enhance the ecological, social and economic health of the Bowker Creek watershed.

In 2011, the Bowker Creek Blueprint was created as a detailed 100-year action plan to revitalize the Bowker Creek watershed. The Blueprint identified a series of actions that would lead to improvements in the watershed and to the creek, habitat and community.

It is now time to update the Blueprint and revise actions based on accomplishments, new information and current pressures facing the watershed. The updated Blueprint will continue to guide the municipalities, the community, and other land stewards to manage and restore the watershed and creek corridor into the future.

We invite you to learn more about Bowker Creek, the watershed, and the Bowker Creek Blueprint 2.0 by reviewing the information below and completing the survey.
