Education

Stay informed on the critical issues and threats facing the region’s lakes, rivers, and streams. Learn about invasive species such as zebra mussels that threaten recreation and fish and wildlife. Understand better the link between land use and water quality. Or request a presentation from a Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) educator about the impact of storm water runoff and how you can prevent it.

The information on this page will help you get an inside look at the issues facing clean water and management, possible solutions, and ways you can get involved. The first step in making a difference is learning more, and the MCWD is a great resource to help you do that.
