Friends of Deckers Creek Year 1
Friends of Deckers Creek (FODC) is a grass roots nonprofit organization committed to building a community around a Clean Deckers Creek. FODC was founded in 1995 when Deckers Creek was a dead stream, acidified and running red for its entire length. Through the efforts of FODC and its partners, Deckers Creek is now a clear creek highlighted by numerous waterfalls, swimming holes, and fishing spots, coming into its own as a clean and valuable recreation asset.
Deckers Creek’s mouth is in the heart of downtown Morgantown in West Virginia.
The selected VISTA will focus on developing strategic plans for community outreach and programmatic goals. This will include building a framework for a community garden and developing toolkits for community engagement and volunteer training. The VISTA will also develop training materials based on FODC’s scientific sampling methodology and equipment protocols.
