Projects in DeKalb County’s Watersheds

The goal of watershed planning is to identify areas that need attention, whether it’s simply removing debris from the stream channel to site restoration, to better maintenance.  Some projects are accomplished by individuals, yet others require financial and time investments by many groups.  Some watershed improvement projects within DeKalb County are listed below.  We hope the list continues to grow as more improvements take place within our watersheds!
