Environmental Outreach
Our Outreach Program engages a diverse cross section of the community in planning, promoting, and achieving ClearWater goals and initiatives. Community involvement is facilitated through outreach efforts such as monthly newsletters, the ClearWater and Spring Creek Watershed web sites, presentations, and public forums on important issues. We also host special events that provide fun opportunities to learn and get involved.
