What YOU Can Do

If you're not already a member, join the Upper Sugar River Watershed Association!

Follow the top ten RiverSmart Tips

Plant a Rain Garden. These are gardens that increase rainwater infiltration and reduce runoff.

Help with the USRWA Newsletter. There's a lot of writing, layout, folding, labeling, and sorting that needs to be done. Contact Becky at execdr@usrwa.org or 437-7707.

If you have experience with Microsoft Access, help the USRWA update its various databases. Contact Becky at execdr@usrwa.org or 437-7707.

Help the USRWA achieve its goals by working on a committee. Meetings are anticipated to be quarterly and may be conducted via email. Email the USRWA's Executive Director at execdr@usrwa.org for current committee openings.

Anyone interested in learning more about the river and its tributaries should consider becoming a citizen monitor. Observe how season impact the river, how storm events change the flow and what critters indicate the health of the stream. Training sessions will be held in the Spring. Contact Marcia (224-3746) to learn what monitoring entails or to sign up for training.

Want to help the USRWA? Consider clipping newspaper articles that have to do with the watershed and its resources. The articles will go into a scrapbook that will be used as a resource and reference over the year to come. Send clippings to USRWA Scrapbook, PO Box 314, Mt. Horeb, WI 53572
