HISTORY OF THE ULAO CREEK PARTNERSHIP

Since its formation in 1995, the Ulao Creek Partnership has served as an important connection between landowners, government officials, and other area non-profits in working to protect the habitat of the Ulao Creek Watershed and the surrounding areas. While activity and involvement has varied throughout the years, the organization carries on. We are grateful to the many who have given so much of their time and talents to keep the mission alive. We welcome new members to join us in continuing this important work.
