Burr Oak and Turtle Creek Water Protection Project


Limiting livestock access in the Burr Oak and Turtle Creek watersheds have allowed streambanks to heal.

Landowners and residents are working together with the Burr Oak and Turtle Creek Water Protection Project to improve their creeks.

By installing conservation practices and making other changes, Burr Oak and Turtle Creek residents are working to improve their farming operations, their land, their creeks and preserve them for the future.

What's a watershed?

A watershed is the area of land that drains into a lake or stream.

Water traveling over the surface or through groundwater may pick up contaminants like sediment, chemicals and waste and deposit them in a body of water.
