| Short Description |
Urban and suburban streams experience pollution and hydrologic stresses from local development. The small effect that each streamside home makes is compounded as the number of homes grows. As a result, water quality and fish habitat suffer. The mission of the Adopt-A-Stream Foundation is to go door-to-door and provide a personalized education to each streamside landowner on how to protect their local stream, and their property. The Adopt-A-Stream Foundation worked with a neighborhood in the Marysville area to lower stream temperatures and improve water quality along Hayho Creek in the Middle Fork of Quilceda Creek. | |||
