The White Clay Creek Watershed Steering Committee is made up of local citizens, representatives of conservation organizations and other interested parties, and delegates from state and local governments. The National Park Service provides staff to help link the Committee to other agencies and the public, and it also provides technical and financial support.

The Steering Committee meets quarterly to discuss watershed projects and get updates from the Program Director and the National Park Service River Manager. All meetings are open to the public and we welcome your support.
