Leah Sweely, project coordinator, can help landowners
Leah Sweely, who grew up on a family farm in rural Clinton, hopes to involve the public with the Prairie Creek Watershed Project by creating a sense of community and ownership around the creek. Sweely became coordinator for the project in March 2008, and is looking forward to working one-on-one with landowners to help them add and finance new conservation projects.

A watershed is the area of land that drains into a lake or stream.
