The Annual Meeting occurs every May; all members, potential members, watershed residents, and anyone with an interest is invited to attend.  The meeting normally includes a picnic or pot-luck dinner, awards, auction, and voting for officers. 

Board Meetings take place on the second Thursday of every month from 3:00-4:30pm at 8787 Sullivan Road Tipp City, OH 45371. Members of the Board of Directors are required to attend, but the general public is also welcome. The meetings include discussions of upcoming events, financial status, future goals, etc.

The Stream Team is a group of volunteers who regularly monitor the biological integrity of streams within the watershed to determine the status of water quality.  Volunteers are trained by the Honey Creek Watershed Association staff (training held every summer) to identify organisms living in the streams that are indicative of water quality.  The data is complied by the Association and reviewed to determine if there have been any changes over time. 

All litter runs into our streams when it rains.  Therefore, the Honey Creek Watershed Association has adopted a two (2) mile stretch of State Route 201 where we pick-up and dispose of litter properly.  Clean-ups occur four (4) times a year. 

The Honey Creek Watershed Association participates in numerous events to educate the public about what a watershed is and how their actions affect it. The Association works closely with the Miami County Park District and has developed a “Hug the Watershed” program for elementary school children.  We also display information at several area events, engage in public speaking, produce and distribute informational packets, and assist residents of the watershed by answering questions.

The Association has applied for numerous grants to fund stream restoration projects throughout the watershed.  This includes stabilizing stream banks, protecting riparian zones, and addressing water quality concerns.

Since much of the Honey Creek Watershed is rural land (77%), many homes have home septic treatment systems (HSTS) on their property.  If these systems are damaged, improperly installed, or not maintained, the waste will end-up in our streams.  This is a major health concern for residents, who often come in physical contact with the stream, use it for livestock, or allow it to flow downstream where it may impact drinking water supplies.  The Association works to locate areas with failing septic systems by monitoring water quality and assist the owner in improving their system for the benefit of the community.

The Honey Creek Watershed Association appreciates the rural culture of the watershed and work to maintain this land use through education and participation in local zoning and development decisions.
