Spring River Watershed Partnership -Update-

The Spring River Watershed Partnership met again on April 19, 2011, to review the organizations’ application for a Section 319 Nonpoint Source Implementation Program, through the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. The group discussed a multitude of watershed ‘best practices’ that the grant will help implement. They will be working with Carthage (MO) citizens and area landowners to identify projects that they are interested in, and then see if they can get them funded through the grant. In addition, the group will focus on contacting stakeholders within the Spring River Watershed or those interested in helping, like Stream Teams, Boy Scouts and other organizations.
