The Rocky River Watershed Council's purpose is to protect, restore and perpetuate a healthy watershed through public education, watershed planning, communication and cooperation among stakeholders. We are the only organization dedicated solely to the protection and restoration of the Rocky River Watershed.

We'll have a speaker from Cleveland Metroparks talk about the upcoming drainage of Hinckley Lake, dam restoration, and plans for when it will be finished.
