Minnehaha Creek Watershed Needs Citizen Advisors

The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) has three openings on its Citizen Advisory Committee, a citizen group that provides input on the District’s projects and programs.

The group meets once per month to discuss issues of importance to the MCWD, review MCWD projects and policies and recommend actions to the Board of Managers.

Members of the committee also have opportunities to be ambassadors for clean water and represent the MCWD in a variety of ways, including:

• attending community events and educational seminars,
• teaching community groups about water quality topics like lawn care and salt use; and,
• acting as a liaison between the District and community groups, like lake and stream associations.

The MCWD’s Citizen Advisory Committee typically meets the third Thursday of each month at 6:30 p.m. at the District offices at 18202 Minnetonka Boulevard, Deephaven. 

Interested candidates can learn more and apply at www.minnehahacreek.org/CAC or contact the District’s Cost Share Specialist Joe Barten at jbarten@minnehahacreek.org or 952-641-4523. 

The deadline for applications is Monday, December 31.
