I am a fundraiser for
Ellerbe Creek Watershed Association
Thank you for joining me in support of Ellerbee Creek Watershed Association and their wonderful work protecting our waterways and natural areas. You all are the best!

Ellerbe Creek and its watershed provide habitat for many plant, bird and wildlife species, while offering an unexpected encounter with nature's beauty within Durham. The Ellerbe Creek Watershed Association (ECWA) has protected 340 acres critical to the creek's health by converting degraded urban lands into nature preserves. Ellerbe Creek flows into Falls Lake - the water supply for over 1/2 million people, a vibrant recreation spot and home to even more flora and wildlife. We're protecting and restoring Ellerbe Creek for the people of Durham, our downstream neighbors, and it's natural inhabitants!
What ECWA does with your generous contributions:
-
Partner with the City of Durham and other environmental organizations to improve water quality by installing rain gardens and rain water cisterns
-
Protect the creek and its habitat by managing natural preserves across the urban watershed
-
Connect Durham neighbors by creating a network of preserves and trails, hosting nature hikes, and organizing volunteer workdays and clean-ups
Introduce children to the creek and it’s ecology through relationships with schools and other educators, as well as our own Family Explorers Club
Thank you for supporting me and ECWA through the Great Human Race!
