The first meeting, to introduce the planning process, was held on March 3. The next meeting is scheduled for April 27, online at 1:30 PM. 

Nominations (including self-nominations) are now open for the Partnership’s Steering Committee. This is a good time to get involved.

Clear Creek's number one water quality issue is Contact Recreation due to an excessive level of bacteria. Other impairments are Excess Nutrients, Sediment, Flooding, Trash/Dumping, and Habitat Loss.

New from Texas A&M Press.

Over 90 contributions from Texas writers – songs, poems, recollections of river trips, essays, fold-out maps, and more.

The Exhibit

Among many other objects, it features the canoe paddle that was used by John Graves during his epic three-week paddle down the Brazos River, as chronicled in his book Goodbye to a River.
