Our new website is officially live! 💻🎉

A huge thank you to our amazing IT, Digital Media, and Communications volunteer team! They spent countless hours helping create a website that’s engaging, informative, accessible, and easy to navigate. (And we’re always looking for more volunteers, too! 👀)

If you come across an accessibility issue, broken link, or other hiccup, please let us know. Otherwise, take a look around and explore all the resources we have to offer!

Our website is a place for Clark County residents to learn how they can help protect and advocate for the health, safety, and recreational values of the Lacamas Creek Watershed. 💧🌿

We hope you enjoy it! ✨

Join us for our annual Lake Cleanup Day on September 26th!

Come out to litter pick and ivy pull around some of Clark County's most beloved lakes: Round, Fallen Leaf, and Lacamas Lake. Registration is required!

Shirts will also be available for purchase on cleanup day. All proceeds will go to support Lacamas Watershed Council programs to monitor and advocate for the health of Clark County's lakes. Filling out the registration ahead of time also helps us guarantee to have your size on cleanup day.

Have you checked out our Phytoplankton Monitoring Network? 🔬🌊

Each month, we publish volunteer-gathered data on our website! Every week, volunteers collect and test samples from Round, Fallen Leaf, Vancouver, and Lacamas Lakes for a variety of variables, including different types of cyanobacteria.

Want to learn more? Explore the most common cyanobacteria found in our lakes and check out the Phytoplankton Monitoring Network for more data! 💧🔎

Did you know that dogs in Clark County produce an estimated 18 tons of p**p every day? 🤯 If it's left behind, billions of f***l coliform bacteria can wash into our lakes and streams. But you can help stop the runoff!

Unlike wildlife such as deer, dogs are carnivores. Just one gram of dog p**p can contain up to 20 million more f***l coliform bacteria than one gram of deer p**p.

Dog waste also contains nutrients from pet food that aren't commonly found in nature. As it breaks down, it releases excess nitrogen, phosphorus, and disease-causing organisms that can pollute our waterways and harm people, pets, fish, and wildlife.

This summer, do your part to protect clean water: Scoop the p**p and throw it in the trash! 🐶

Ever wondered what the Lacamas Watershed actually includes? The watershed is made up of various creeks and ditches that flow into Lacamas Lake, Round Lake, and Fallen Leaf Lake. Understanding the watershed helps us see how everyday actions can have a real impact on water quality downstream.

There's an island on Fallen Leaf Lake! 🏝️

Building on scientific research she started back in her sophomore year, Camas High School student Emily Jiang has officially designed and launched an active floating island in Fallen Leaf Lake! Positioned just off the shoreline, this floating island isn't just for show, it serves as a real-world test to combat harmful algal blooms and protect our local water ecosystems.

Every week, volunteers with the Lacamas Watershed Council monitor the water quality of Vancouver, Lacamas, Round, and Fallen Leaf lakes as part of our Phytoplankton Monitoring Network.

The data they collect is shared with local jurisdictions, helping inform decisions and actions to protect and improve the health of our lakes.
