Resources

Access resources from the North Fork Crow River Watershed District.

The simple act of sweeping up around a storm drain protects local lakes and rivers by preventing pollution from entering waterways like the North Fork Crow River, Rice Lake, and Lake Koronis.

What is Adopt a Drain?

The North Fork Crow River Watershed District and the City of Paynesville have partnered with Adopt a Drain to protect our local waterways. The program allows residents to take regular, sustained action to prevent localized flooding and reduce runoff pollution by clearing storm drains in their neighborhood.

Participants sign up for the program online at Adopt-a-Drain.org to create an account that allows them to adopt and name drains and report the amount of debris they collect.

Educational Resources

NFCRWD staff are available for educational programming for local community groups, events, and classrooms. Please email chloe@nfcrow.org with any questions.

The NFCRWD partners with many different agency and private stakeholder groups to conduct its mission activities. The District thanks any and all partners who assist us in improving water quality.
