Our Mission
The 14 Mile Watershed Alliance seeks to achieve measurable improvement in surface and groundwater quality within the 14 Mile Creek Watershed by supporting and implementing sound conservation practices, and educating and creating partnerships with all stakeholders.
Our Goals

- Improve and then maintain the long-term health of the soil, surface and groundwater in the watershed for the benefit of future generations to come.
- Protect the interests of all stakeholders in the watershed to ensure that resources will remain viable long-term.
- Protect the public health of all in our watershed, for both surface water use and drinking water safety.
- Build a collaborative watershed community able to take on current and future challenges.
