Shoal Creek Forum Recap
April 14, 2016 | By Shoal Creek Conservancy
The Shoal Creek Forum series has been a great success! Thank you to the many community members who have come out and joined the Shoal Creek Conservancy and the City of Austin Watershed Protection Department in our conversation about critical creek issues. The talks have covered topics such as flooding in downtown and the northern sections of the creek, Watershed 101 and the City’s watershed planning, water quality, and erosion on the creek.
