Over the years, MyRWA has worked on projects big and small. We love when community members share their experience in the green and blue spaces of the watershed and bring possible improvements and ideas to our attention.
Check out some recent small projects we’ve worked with community members on below and let us know if you have an idea for an improvement that could benefit one of your favorite areas in the watershed. A few ideas will be selected to become part of our work in 2024!
