WCP Purpose

Provide the general public, municipalities, watershed community, and government agencies with a concise, easily read and used repository of the natural, historical, cultural, and recreational resources while emphasizing opportunities for stewardship and economic growth within the Slippery Rock Creek Watershed.

WCP Goals

• Create a user friendly “one stop shop” for watershed data including: natural, historical, cultural and recreational resources; include/compile statistical data and mapping; identify secondary data sources.
• Engage local residents, businesses, industries, and municipalities in creating a WCP that reflects their issues and concerns for the watershed.
• Increase public awareness about the watershed through a community outreach program that includes an interactive website for information gathering as well as posting the plan throughout the process.
• Identify economic growth opportunities for the watershed based on natural, historical, cultural and recreational resources.
• Identify positive methods to encourage and support stewardship of natural, historical, cultural, and recreational resources.
