Greenway Network Board member Kelly Dunlap – “Introducing the Stream Care Guide”
The Stream Care Guide was designed by the Soil and Water Conservation Department, City of Wentzville, and St. Charles County to inform and educate all residents of their role in their watersheds. Everyone wants clean water, but not everyone understands the connection between activities in their watershed and the effects on water. This guide takes the reader on a journey to understand their county’s watersheds, streams, and rivers; to locate themselves on a map within their watersheds and to visualize “when it rains, it drains”. They discover how their yard drains to a particular stream and on to the next until flowing into the mighty rivers on their way to the Gulf. Readers also discover how they impact water quality and how they can help their local streams and waterbodies.

If it’s nice out (not raining and 60ish+ degrees) we will sit outside.
