In 1999, the Popo Agie Conservation District initiated a community based watershed planning effort.
The purpose of the planning effort was to provide an opportunity for local people to identify and assess natural resource concerns and opportunities within the Popo Agie Watershed, determine what condition were desired, and formulate alternatives to achieve those desired results based upon voluntary, incentive-driven opportunities. Together, local citizens have worked to develop a plan to improve water quality while preserving the economic sustainability of agriculture, recreation, wildlife, and municipalities.
