Formed in March of 2003, Beaver Creek Watershed Association is a community-based
group of citizens living throughout the watershed, which includes the communities of
Gibbs, Halls, Powell, Karns, and Hardin Valley/Solway. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit.
In recent years many residents have expressed growing concerns about issues such as
suburban sprawl, flooding, pollution of Beaver Creek, destruction of farms and forests, and
highway construction. Not only do residents wish to see problems alleviated, but they want
to see positive things accomplished. Our local officials and elected representatives are
responsible for certain matters, but citizens must take a lead role in bringing about positive
actions. That's what BCWA is all about.
Our Mission
Briefly put, our mission is to protect and enhance the natural
and human environment of the Beaver Creek watershed. We
want to spearhead our communities efforts to manage how
they grow. If we want to have liveable communities that reflect
residents' desires for pleasant surroundings, less congestion,
more greenspace and wildlife refuges, a cleaned-up Beaver Creek,
and greater appreciation and preservation of community values and identities,
then we need residents in the watershed to join with us to achieve these goals.
Accomplishing the BCWA's mission is a long-term campaign which involves residents
about the many issues that affect us and arriving together at solutions.
Please join with us in solving local problems and creating even better communities. You
can also support BCWA by becoming a member.
