Riparian Buffer Assessment

Data on botanical and physical characteristics of the riparian buffers were collected in urban and forested reaches of Granite Creek and its tributaries.

Watershed Field Survey

In an effort to better understand potential water quality impacts in our watershed, local Creek Crew volunteers got their boots on the ground and walked the creeks within the City of Prescott and unincorporated county areas to document:

A volunteer water quality monitoring program was initiated in January, 2010 to further the WIP by identifying the main sources of nutrients and E. coli bacteria in the watershed. Creek Crew volunteers are collecting field data and water samples along Granite Creek and its main tributaries (see map of sampling sites below).
