Brown's Creek Watershed District
The Brown's Creek Watershed District is made up of communities interlaced with natural corridors. These natural corridors improve the function and value of the District's water resources and support a diverse population of plants, wildlife, and fish. The District brings people and the environment together to accommodate development that preserves the connection between surface water and groundwater and enhances the quality of these resources.View a slideshow of photos from Brown's Creek.

Fifty percent match grants of up to $2500.00 are available for people to plant raingardens, restore shoreline property or install other projects on their property that help to reduce runoff pollution. Contact Rusty Schmidt to schedule a free site visit at your home. Priority will be given to projects on land that drains to Long Lake, Brown's Creek, Benz Lake and Masterman Lake. In 2011, BCWD worked with homeowners around Long Lake to complete major shoreline restoration plantings. They also installed a large raingarden system at Community Thread and continued to work with the Stillwater Country Club on raingardens and native plantings to protect Brown's Creek.
