The Guide to Cedar Creek Now Available Online!

Why do we defend the diverse ecology of Cedar Creek? Be one of the first to review this comprehensive Guide to Cedar Creek written by Friends of Cedar Creek members to educate and inform the community of the importance of water quality and Cedar Creek's native plants and animals.
“We only defend what we love, and we only love what we know.
Learning to know a place, whether a backyard or a watershed . . .
is an endless challenge, therefore an endless source of delight.
However much or little you already know about [Cedar Creek] . . .
[this guide] will teach you more.”
