SUMMARY:Johnson Creek Outfall Surveys
DESCRIPTION:When storm water is redirected away from roads and other structures\, it is often funneled out through outfalls which deposit the storm water into streams like Johnson Creek. This outfall water will regularly contain varying amounts of fertilizer\, lawn chemicals\, heavy metals\, highway runoff\, and other chemicals that are toxic to salmonids and other life. JCWC is looking to photograph and record data of each outfall in the Johnson Creek watershed mainstem. This data will not only be immensely helpful in understanding how stormwater is impacting Johnson Creek\, but will also help us and our partners identify future projects and priorities both in the near and long term. Identifying sources and quality of runoff may also allow for future projects and initiatives. Volunteers will be given maps with outfall locations and may survey the sites at their own pace and may receive additional maps if desired. When surveying\, volunteers should wear clothes for a variety of environments. Items such as long pants and sleeves\, and close-toe shoes with good tread.  \n\n\n\nWhen: Training: Wednesday\, August 7th\, from 6pm – 7pm\, virtually. Surveying will continue from August through November.  \n\n\n\nWhere: All through the mainstem of Johnson Creek!  \n\n\n\nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER \n\n\n\nWe will provide: maps of outfall sites\, high visibility vests \n\n\n\nAccessibility: This event may require traversing a variety of environments\, walking over uneven ground\, going up or down steep slopes\, bending\, and walking near the creek. Each site will have different requirements so we can accommodate most physical ability levels. If you have questions about the physical requirements of the event\, please contact holly@jcwc.org. \n\n\n\nChildren unfortunately are not permitted. This survey involves potentially navigating certain hazards and uneven terrain and is not suitable for children. Youth 14 years old and older are welcome if accompanied by an attentive adult.

SUMMARY:2024 Johnson Creek Clean-up!
DESCRIPTION:The Johnson Creek Clean-Up returns August 17th\, 2024! This is your chance to GET IN the creek and GET OUT all the trash that has accumulated over the past year. Since 2007\, volunteers like you have jumped into Johnson Creek and pulled out over 70 tons of trash from the water. Yes that’s right\, over 70 tons! Don’t miss this unique opportunity to get in the creek and remove litter from where it matters the most. See you there!  \n\n\n\nArrive at your site at 8:45 am to meet your team and Creek Captain and learn how to be safe in the water. Spend ~3 hours in the creek picking up trash\, then travel to Johnson Creek Park to have lunch at 12 noon. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAttention: We are having some technical difficulties with our online sign-up system. You are signed up even if you did not get a confirmation email! Reminder emails with details about your site will go out on Friday! \n\n\n\nWhat: Remove trash from Johnson Creek! Get in the water or stay on land and help remove tons of trash from in and around the creek. Stick around afterward for FREE lunch\, award ceremony and time to connect with your watershed community. \n\n\n\nWhen: Saturday\, August 17th\, from 8:45 am – 1pm\, including FREE lunch \n\n\n\nWhere: About a dozen sites throughout the watershed!

Wear shoes and clothes you don’t mind getting wet and muddy. You will be walking in the creek in your shoes. We recommend light-weight shoes like sneakers\, running shoes\, or breathable hiking boots that will drain easily\, rather than heavy boots that will stay water-logged. Do not wear sandals\, crocs\, etc.–it’s not safe! However\, you may want to bring an extra set of footwear to change into at the end. Bring a filled water bottle and a snack. \n\n\n\nWe will provide: Gloves and all necessary tools\, plus free lunch at the end of the event. We can also provide bus fare to and from the event.

Youth 14 years old and older are welcome if accompanied by an attentive adult. \n\n\n\nAccessibility: This event may require wading in water greater than 2 feet deep (see site descriptions for details; not all sites require wading)\, standing for long periods\, walking over uneven ground\, going up or down steep slopes\, bending\, and lifting heavy objects. Each site has different requirements so we can accommodate most physical ability levels. If you have questions about the physical requirements of the event\, please contact marlee@jcwc.org.
