MARCH 16-23, 2024
The Clean Water Education Partnership is excited to announce the 4th annual CWEP Regional Creek Week. A wide variety of other in-person & virtual events are being hosted by partner local governments around the region and state. Details and registration can be found below! Water connects us all, and we hope to see you out there.
CELEBRATE WITH YOUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT
A few of our Creek Week partners have created their own webpages — if you live in one of these municipalities, check their website to read more and to register for events.

CWEP Regional Event
This year, CWEP will hold a regional event that can be completed from anywhere in the region. We’ll be opening the CWEP Wandering Water Map on March 16th to encourage exploration of local bodies of water. People from around the state can participate and showcase their local waterways. To join, visit our Wandering Water Map webpage (linked above) and read our submission criteria. Then go visit a body of water near you, take a photo, and upload it on our submissions page. All participants will be entered to win one of three rain gauges. The photo map coincides with Creek Week but will remain open as a document of local water and our relationships with it.
