Water Quality Planning
Nine Key Element Plan
NKE110
2019
Active
The purpose of this plan largely is centered around the mission of the Uplands Farmer-Led Watershed Group; that is, to build community and dialogue among producers and community members alike around how best to protect our watersheds and stream systems we all enjoy for recreation, beauty, and resources. Mindfulness of producers needs from the watershed as well as how our practices impact communities outside of our own is also an underlying message behind this plan. Coupled with this purpose, our goals are to evaluate current conditions of the watershed, identify best practices and critical, highly vulnerable areas, and work with producers to develop a plan that helps them reduce our collective loading of nutrients, sediment, and other pollutants.
