Project Description: The Babb Creek Watershed Association and the Tioga County Conservation District are partnering on this early implementation project of the Pine Creek Watershed River Conservation Plan. This project is on the agricultural impaired section in the headwaters of Wilson Creek. We are developing a watershed management plan and have two grazing demonstration projects on the Coolidge Hollow tributary. Funding provided by Department of Conservation and Natural Resources - Community Conservation Partnership Program.
Project Goals: Develop a watershed management plan with public participation and demonstrate the value of grazing riparian buffers with proper planned grazing management.
