Fountain Creek Watershed Vision Task Force

The mission of the Fountain Creek Vision Task Force is to prepare a comprehensive strategic
plan for the Fountain Creek Watershed. This plan will incorporate and address all of the
planning, scientific, and visioning documents. The Task Force will then build on these documents
to create a shared vision for specific actions that participating entities can make in order realize
the shared vision. This effort was initiated by EI Paso County and the first meeting was held in
July 2006 at the Bear Creek Nature Center.
