Welcome to the West Creek Preservation Committee and the West Creek Watershed We are a group of concerned citizens working to conserve greenspace, improve water quality, and create outdoor recreational opportunities in the West Creek Watershed. West Creek, a tributary of the Cuyahoga River, flows 9 miles through the Cleveland, Ohio suburbs of Parma, Seven Hills, Brooklyn Heights, and Independence. In this densely populated and developed area, West Creek endures as a natural refuge from the urban hustle and bustle. As part of the Ohio and Erie Canal National Heritage Corridor, the West Creek area holds historic significance and the potential for a recreational trail linkage to the Ohio and Erie Canal Towpath Trail. Founded in 1997, our volunteer-run, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization has focused on the creation of the West Creek Preserve and Greenway, a 500-acre natural park and regional recreational trail network. With the support of the community, we have successfully preserved over 350 acres for conservation for the public benefit. Other initiatives include water quality improvement, environmental education, and natural resource protection. We invite you to learn more about our watershed, our organization and our projects, and we hope you will share our vision. We’d love to have you join us for a hike, or a meeting, or one of our many special projects (such as wetland plantings, creek clean-ups, and trail building). We welcome your comments, questions and suggestions. If you would like more information or to get involved, please contact us. Sincerely, Trustee ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ See how we have progressed…a timeline of the West Creek Preservation Committee The WCPC would like to extend a special thanks to our sponsors… |
