Fossil Creek Working Group

Purpose

Citizens, organization, agencies, tribes and local governments collaborate and participate in discussions surrounding NEPA and the Comprehensive River Management Plan (CRMP), interim management, and capacity building for future efforts in Fossil Creek.

Progress

Three Action Teams have been developed under the Working Group. The teams and their goals include:

• Sustainable Funding’s goal is creating a sustainable funding stream for Fossil Creek

• Adaptive Management and Monitoring’s goal is developing necessary monitoring to enable effective Adaptive Management of Fossil Creek

• Education and Partnership’s goal is establishing high visibility community events, increasing visitor information and long term communication and education plans for visitation. The team’s second goal is to develop a sustainable volunteer network to reduce needed funding to protect Fossil Creeks ecological and recreational values
