Oak Creek Watershed Council

Did you know - OCWC tests the water in Oak Creek every month! We test for a variety of parameters but we are primarily looking for E. Coli contamination, which has significantly decreased in the last decade.

What can you do to help prevent E. Coli contamination?
• Pick up after your dog
• Prevent erosion by sticking to official trails
• Keep babies in properly-fitting swim diapers

Every action counts!

Oak Creek doesn’t belong to any one of us. It belongs to all of us. 💙

Today — Arizona Gives Day — we come together for the creek that makes Sedona, Sedona. Every donation to Oak Creek Watershed Council helps protect this watershed for everyone who loves it.

Link in bio to donate. 🙏

Some of the most important conservation work happening in Sedona is happening at creek level with elementary school kids crouched over the water, discovering the tiny creatures that call Oak Creek home. 🐛🌊

Today is Arizona Gives Day, and we are asking you to support Oak Creek Watershed Council and our Tiny Wildlife program which brings local kids to the creek to learn firsthand about the aquatic insects, amphibians, and micro-critters that make this ecosystem tick.

When kids fall in love with a place, they protect it for life. That’s the magic of this program. 💙
