WATERSHED IMPLEMENTATION PROJECTS-Jackson Purchase Foundation

WATERSHED PLAN IMPLEMENTATION PROJECTS

Once a watershed plan has been developed and approved, the solutions in the plan are ready to be implemented. The Foundation has worked with many local partners to implement projects that will improve water quality in areas where a watershed plan has been approved. These projects can range from practices that address failing wastewater systems to community based projects to agricultural practices. See below for some of the pratices implemented in our watershed planning areas. If you are located in an any of the watershed planning areas described on our WATERSHED PLANNING PROJECTS page, please contact us to see if you are eligible for any assistance to implement projects that will improve water quality in these areas.
