Watershed Survey Report
Researchers from Illinois State University worked with the Nippersink Watershed Planning Committee to conduct a survey to assess values, attitudes and practices.  The social assessment gauges public responsiveness to the Nippersink Watershed Management Plan and will help prioritize implementation steps in the plan based on public feedback.  Thank you to all who participated in the survey! We are pleased to share the report from this survey:

This report, prepared by Illinois State University, under a Section 319 grant provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency / Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, provides a summary of the findings resulting from a recent survey of Nippersink Watershed residents.
These findings will help to guide on-going and future outreach efforts in encouraging watershed stakeholders to recognize the significant value of Nippersink Creek, and to work cooperatively to implement the Nippersink Creek Watershed Plan.
