Creeks
watershed
anywhere,
the
rain
falls
where
it
eventually
ends
up
in
either
Stevens
or
permanently
creeks,
and
that's
one
of
the
biggest
things
we
educate
the
public
about
is
that
wherever
they
live,
they
live
in
somebody's
watershed
and
what
they
do
counts,
whether
it's
putting
fertilizers
on
their
lawn
which
go
into
the
storm
drains
and
end
up
in
the
creeks
or
wide
variety
of
activities,
washing
their
car
in
the
driveway
and
so
forth.
All
of
these
things
add
up
now.
B
You
can
pull
it
on
the
lawn
and
that
way
the
water
soaks
into
the
lawn
and
into
the
ground,
and
it
the
water
will
travel
underground,
will
eventually
reach
a
creek.
But
by
that
time
it'll
be
cleaned
up
or
you
can
go
to
a
professional
car
wash
and
they're
required
by
law
not
to
be
dumping
it
into
the
storm
drain.
They
have
to
jump
it
into
the
sanitary
sewer,
but
it
gets
cleaned
up
before
it
hits
the
bay,
but
we
involve
people
in
water
quality
monitoring.
B
My
team
is
out
without
me
today
for
the
the
monthly
water
quality
monitoring,
we're
doing
a
habitat
study
with
us
geological
survey
and
we're
looking
at
the
bugs
that
grow
in
the
bottom
of
the
creek
different
bugs
have
different
pollution
tolerances.
So
we
look
at
a
population
of
bugs
in
a
particular
area.
We
can
tell
what
kind
of
habitat
quality
is
there
plus,
as
you
can
see,
all
that
the
habitat,
restoration
and
you're
on
my
face
and
not
on
my
arms.
A

Stream
keepers
program
is
where
folks
adopt
a
section
of
the
creek
which
they
walk
once
a
month
and
we
train
them
ahead
of
time.
They
look
for
things
which
are
potentially
biological,
physical
or
social
problems
along
the
creek
and
alert
as
to
what's
going
on,
and
when
we
have,
you
know,
20
plus
miles
of
creek,
it's
great
having
all
these
extra
eyes
on
the
creek.
What.
