Stream Smart – Pledge

Are you ready to commit to helping keep our stream temperatures cool for native fish and protect water quality? If you are adopting a section of one of our streams to plant and establish shading vegetation, please fill out the information below.

“Stream width” refers to the average wetted width of the channel. Length and width of the riparian zone refers to the area that you will be adopting to maintain. The calculation shows you how you will directly be benefiting the stream by keeping water temperatures from getting warmer and reducing pollutants. We won’t ever sell your information to others.
