Program Description
The Pullman Adopt-A-Stream Program officially began in 2011 as a
collaborative project between PCEI, the City of Pullman and private
landowners. The goal of the program is to engage community members,
students and businesses in the maintenance and beautification of our
local natural resources. Paradise Creek, South Fork Palouse River, Dry
Fork Creek and Missouri Flat Creek flow through the City of Pullman and
have been divided into "adoptable" stream segments.

How the Adopt-A-Stream Program Works
Individuals, families, community groups, student organizations and local
businesses can adopt a stream segment to maintain. Stream stewards are
awarded a segment based on a commitment to participate in two yearly
events: the Annual Clean-up and the Fall Three Forks River Rendezvous.
Additional cleanup activities are supported and encouraged.
Once a group has signed up to become a steward, a sign is installed at
a prominent location along the segment, advertising participation to
the Pullman community. For those locations along the river where signs
are not feasible, an alternate method of recognition will be used.
Stewards are required to review and agree to the rules of the
Adopt-A-Stream Program. Also, since many of the segments are
located on private lands, stewards are required to respect posted
signage.
