Membership - Join VWA
April-June 2010
Newsletter
VWA members and
friends:
Mark your calendar for Wednesday July 21. Instead of its usual indoor
monthly meeting, the Verde Watershed meeting for July 21 will be a
Verde headwaters field trip led by Ed Wolfe (geology-hydrology) and
Dan Campbell (The Nature Conservancy Verde River Springs Preserve and
headwaters habitat).
We'll meet at 9 AM at the north end of the Safeway parking lot 1031 N.
Hwy 89, Chino Valley, east side of Hwy 89 and just north of Road 2
North. We'll carpool from there, eventually arriving above Stillman Lake by
the Little Thumb B&B after a couple of stops en route. We'll talk about the
geology and hydrology from the Verde canyon rim above Stillman Lake and then
walk down to Granite Creek and the Verde River and its headwaters springs in
The Nature Conservancy's Verde River Springs Preserve.
BRING YOUR LUNCH, WATER, HAT, SUNSCREEN, ETC. (We'll probably picnic
by the river).

Local people lead the Verde
Watershed Association on behalf of all the people who care about the area's
resources.
The Verde Watershed Association (VWA) provides thoughtful advice and counsel
directed at those whose decisions affect the watershed. The Verde
Currents newsletter, Internet site, public forums, conferences and
mini-seminars are ongoing VWA activities. VWA also sponsors the Verde
River Almanac project. |

Growing concerns about water
and the Verde River and its tributaries sparked formation of VWA in 1993.
VWA strives to preserve and manage the Verde River watershed with local
direction while encouraging long term, productive use of natural resources.
VWA facilitates a comprehensive, fair, balanced and unbiased consideration
of all sides of water-related issues to help people better understand the
watershed and each other's perspective. VWA brings people and science
together. Meetings are held the third Wednesday of each month at 10 a.m. in
various watershed communities including Camp Verde, Chino Valley, Clarkdale,
Cottonwood, Jerome, Prescott and Sedona. |
