ellerbe creek watershed association

Our Vision for the Future We envision a living creek connecting human and natural communities in Durham. To make this a reality, ECWA will: Enable a living creek - a healthy stream in which an appropriately diverse group of native fish and invertebrate species thrive. Create a network of preserves and trails along which people can hike, bike, and walk from the Ellerbe Creek headwaters to Falls Lake. Build ties among Durham's diverse neighborhoods and communities using Ellerbe Creek as a link. Partner with the City and other groups that seek to move Durham to become a regional model for proactive urban stormwater management. Help adults, and especially kids, have the opportunity to enjoy and appreciate being outdoors in a learning and safe environment.
