This partnership is an all-volunteer consortium of farmers, landowners, businesses, government agencies, and natural resource professionals.  It was established in 1996 largely in response to water quality problems that impacted the integrity of the Big Walnut as a drinking water resource for the City of Columbus.  The goal of the partnership is to improve the water quality of the Upper Big Walnut Creek and tributaries through effective conservation practices while sustaining profitable agriculture within the watershed.  The group meets quarterly at the Delaware Soil & Water Conservation District  conference room which is located at 557-A Sunbury Rd. in Delaware. If interested in attending a meeting, please contact the phone number listed above for the next available meeting date.
