WHO ARE WE?
Our members are mostly Davis Creek watershed residents. They include business owners, contractors, professionals, doctors, teachers, retirees, scientists, recreational visitors, students, and many more. The association was founded in 1995 by a group of local stakeholders who were concerned about the trash/illegal dumping and loss of stream habitat that were affecting their watershed. The group was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in 1996.

STREAM IMPROVEMENT WORK STARTING IN 2012
The West Virginia Dept. of Environmental Protection (DEP) has contracted with Green Rivers, a company specializing in stream restoration and natural stream design, to oversee a stream restoration project on 3.1 miles of lower Davis Creek.
The goals of the project are to improve fishery habitat, repair existing in-stream habitat structures, remove invasive species, reduce sediment and other beneficial effects.
Green Rivers will work with the DEP, WVU and the watershed association. We will assist this project in several ways.
