Delaware taxpayers can use a tax check-off to designate contributions to the White Clay Creek Wild and Scenic River Preservation Fund, which was created to protect and improve water quality of the White Clay Creek, Delaware’s only federally designated wild and scenic river.

Please help by making a contribution on your next tax return by checking White Clay Creek on line 17M, Resident Schedule III.

Not a Delaware resident? That's OK - you can still support projects that protect an important drinking water source -White Clay Creek - with a donation to the White Clay Creek Watershed Association.

Past projects:

• Feasibility studies for mussel restoration

• Reforestation of our floodplain working with high school students

• Educational signage and drinking water fountain for the new inclusive park ‘Preston’s Playground’ adjacent to the Newark reservoir. Newark residents rely on clean water from the Newark reservoir, yet many aren't aware that White Clay Creek is the source of that drinking water. This is an effort to make that connection real. 

• White Clay Creek Fish Passage Assessment Christina River-White Clay Creek Confluence to Dam 2

Current and ongoing projects:

• Water quality monitoring and bacteria sampling across the White Clay Creek watershed.

• Support of the Catch the Rain Program

• Environmental education programming for Delaware schools

• Support for dam removals.

• Fish studies along the lower White Clay Creek

• White Clay Flood Study
