By now you know that West Creek Preserve has become the Cleveland Metroparks 16th Reservation, in the heart of the Emeral Necklace. It is a milestone for West Creek Preservation Committee and those who have supported us for so long. But far from being over, our work has just begun.

Why should you be a part of West Creek Preservation Committee? WCPC is committed to our mission of preserving green space and providing public access to the resources in the West Creek watershed - and beyond. Your support funds two staff members who work on a daily basis to expand the acreage of protected land for wildlife and to expand trail opportunities that will link the Reservation and surrounding communities to the Towpath Trail, the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Brooklyn Heights Park and other destinations, such as historic districts and commercails, and numerous neighborhoods, city parks, and civic areas. We are also working to protect and improve the water quality of West Creek in Parma, Brooklyn Heights, Seven Hills, and Independence, so that our drinking water from Lake Erie stays clean.

We are a group that gets results. Together, with your generous support, our dedicated volunteers and staff can continue to lead efforts and partner with other organizations to improve our community in ways that we hope you and your family value.

For highlights or our work, partnerships and other accomplishments, please see the projects and timeline on the homepage.

West Creek Preservation Committee needs your support more than ever. We must continue to acquire land needed to create trail corridors and to conserve threatened wildlife habitat. Staff support is needed to build and strengthen our education, land protection, and community water quality programs.

West Creek is an oasis close to where we live or work. It is a place where you and your family can come to play, relax, and enjoy an experience of nature. The valley offers an irreplaceable heritage that belongs to all of us. Please join us in making a real difference in our community’s future.
