Watershed Watchers
The Whatcom County Watershed Watchers Program provides concerned residents and environmental stewards with opportunities to improve water quality in their community.
Pollution and flooding are serious concerns. Clogged storm drains, polluted water, and flooding are examples of problems that can be easily solved if caught early. Local governments have the resources to address these problems, but can’t be everywhere at once. That’s why your help is needed! Become a Watershed Watcher and join our growing network of community members who protect our local waterways.
No formal volunteer enrollment process or time obligation is needed. Just your year-round awareness of stormwater and other water-related issues that will be guided by our monthly communications and events.
