Marketing the Watershed Group:

  • www.bearcreekwatershed.com is Bear Creeks new web site constructed and maintained by Foster Brovan with input from the rest of the Bear Creek group. Foster presented the web site looking for feedback on the design and context of the web page. There are plans to post our meeting agendas and minutes, and watershed information in hopes of getting more community involvement.
  • Look into the SRWP program and see if they have anyone to assist in the completion of the Bear Creek web site
  • James is going to coordinate a meeting with Chris Glover and Foster Brovan so that there can be links and tags to the WSRCD and WIM sites directly from our site keeping most of the large technical information on there existing sites.
  • Postings on the town bulletin boards are waiting for the completion of the web page bearcreekwatershed.com. So that it can be incorporated into the postings.

New Business:

  • Money for sending out community mailers is still not available or found. Some ideas are to condense the mailing list to a few key members and mail them meeting announcements. Also we can do postings at local stores
  • Find out if the Bear Creek Watershed Assessment has money for a community mailer and final presentation
  • Bear Creek Watershed group Future plans are to look for funding for community mailings, flyers and community billboards. Like a sign saying (you are entering the Bear Creek Watershed and you are now leaving the watershed).
  • Look in to management plan funding for Bear Creek Watershed in March.

Old Business:
