The mission of the Conewango Creek Watershed Association is to promote the health of Conewango Creek so that landowners, citizens, visitors, and municipal officials together take an active role in sustaining the resources of the  creek and its watershed.

This mission will be pursued through, but not limited to, the identification and evaluation of  potential resource problems in the watershed, the development of practical solutions to address resource concerns, and the involvement and education of those living within the Conewango Creek watershed community.

The CCWA is a grassroots organization formed in 1999 to promote stewardship that enhances water quality and related resources throughout the Conewango Creek watershed. To accomplish this, the CCWA is focused on three goals.

  1. Identify potential resources problems
  2. Develop practical solutions to address those problems
  3. Educate citizens in the watershed about the wise use of our valuable resources
