The Watershed Committee of the Ozarks is a not-for-profit group whose mission is to sustain and improve the water resources of Springfield and Greene County through education and effective management of the region’s watersheds. They offer educational opportunities to give all citizens (young and old) information and experiences which improve their understanding of local water resources and encourage the stewardship of those resources.   They rely very much on volunteers to help them accomplish their mission.

We truly made a difference as we worked to help the Watershed Committee accomplish their mission.  As a group, 2nd and 3rd grade students contributed by gathering seeds from plants and planting them so they may be relocated to other areas on the Watershed grounds.  Everyone played a part. The fruit of their labor will be seen by generations to come!!  It was an amazing experience for all involved!  We also went on a beautiful hike and enjoyed all the Watershed had to offer!
