Each committee focuses on an important aspect of the health of Sligo Creek’s watershed. These committees vary their activities and activism, depending on urgent concerns of the moment and on participants’ interests.
All committees are open to new participants and to the ideas, perspectives, and energy that new people bring. Contact the Committee chairperson directly (see the listing) or submit the Contact form to indicate your interest in working as part of a Committee.
Our commitment comes from a shared sense of responsibility to future generations as well as our current enjoyment and benefit from the creek.
