Friends of Deckers Creek

About

Friends of Deckers Creek is a watershed organization that addresses legacy pollution, stormwater challenges, and habitat degradation in the Deckers Creek basin. The group conducts water quality monitoring, leads cleanup projects, and collaborates with agencies and landowners to implement remediation solutions. Its mission is to restore the creek and surrounding environment so that communities can safely enjoy nearby trails, parks, and waterways.

The organization’s work has direct benefits for outdoor recreation, particularly along the Deckers Creek Rail-Trail that links rural areas to downtown Morgantown. By improving environmental conditions and engaging residents in stewardship, Friends of Deckers Creek supports the kind of trail-and-water-based recreation framework that Access Appalachia is built to promote.
