Issues The Plan

Implementation Projects led by the
Pine Creek Watershed Council:

Implementation Projects led by other partners in the watershed:


The Pine Creek Watershed Rivers Conservation Plan calls for cultural conservation in the form of Oral Histories - collecting the memories, experiences, and insights of persons long resident in or acquainted with the Pine Creek watershed.

The Watershed Council developed a large list of potential interview subjects. During 2006 as many as available funding from the Rivers Conservation Plan grant would allow were interviewed on and off camera. Their interviews provide a glimpse into many aspects of life in the watershed.

Future funding will allow additional acquisition of oral histories. The Council also seeks to encourage and inspire oral history collection in the watershed as part of regular academic programs at all levels.

Twenty-one persons were interviewed in this round, in a total of 18 interviews (some joint).
