Clear Creek Watershed Project

Jane Mitchell (QLA Accountant) and John Pennington (County Extension Agent) in photograph, standing on the foot bridge of Scull Creek near the trail and the Scull Creek Village Apartments. Mr. Pennington came out and visited with the staff at QLA today to discuss a partnership venture with QLA and the Clear Creek Conservation to protect waterways like Scull Creek. Students from the University of Arkansas have cleared invasive brush (Kudzu and Ragweed) from the creek beds near the foot bridge and have plans to plant native plants in place of the weeds that will act as a natural buffer to prevent buildup of stream pollutants and continued erosion of the "Reparian Zone."
