Euclid Creek August News We could not have asked for better weather and fun for our 4th A Day in the Life of ! A huge thank you is in order to all of the participants, volunteers, event partners, exhibitors, and sponsors who made the day fantastic from the activities to the food and entertainment.

Similar to last year, we found a water quality issue during our monitoring efforts - while not as egregious as the cooking oil spill we saw in the creek last year at Acacia, NEORSD staff smelled in the at one of the monitoring sites which is being followed up on now. We'll keep you updated on this and other results of the day in upcoming eblasts.

We've got some great programs coming up, from a technical Ravine Workshop to our first Metroparks Watershed Volunteer Program Meetup Monday with Friends of Euclid Creek and much more below.

Revitalizing our Ravines Workshops

Steep ravines are beautiful natural features, but some are in danger due to intensified rainfall, erosion and habitat degradation.

If you live on a steep ravine and want information on what to do to make your property more climate resilient and ecologically diverse, please attend one of our upcoming workshops.

The three workshops scheduled focus on ravines in the east of Cleveland - Quilliams (Nine Mile) Creek, Green Creek and Euclid Creek East Branch. Two of three total workshops are scheduled for next week (details below) - if you can't make one of these workshops, contact Roy Larick at [email protected] to find out details about the third workshop.
