PCEI Watersheds Restoration Projects
PCEI is working with the community and local agencies to restore the watersheds within the Palouse and Clearwater Region.  Since 1992, PCEI has worked to enable local communities to realize the priceless value and function of riparian and wetland systems.

Paradise Creek
Paradise Creek, which flows into the South Fork of the Palouse River, is the focus of much of PCEI's volunteer effort. Paradise Creek is an example of a "water quality limited" stream segment and local interest in water quality led PCEI to initiate the community-based Paradise Creek Adopt-A-Stream Project. If you are a landowner whose land is situated adjacent to Paradise Creek and would like ideas/assistance to restore your property, call us! We can schedule a site visit and consultation free of charge.

The Paradise Creek Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Implementation Project was completed in 2004. To view the final report Paradise Creek Implementation Project Final Report This is a large file (6.5 MB) and could take some time to download, depending on your connection, so sit back and relax!
