Tour the Shoal Creek watershed
Thursday, February 16, 2023 by Tai Moses
Shoal Creek Conservancy and Jose M. Guerrero, former assistant director of the city’s Watershed Protection Department, are leading a very special bus tour of the Shoal Creek watershed. The tour will stop at Duncan Neighborhood Park, Great Northern Dog Park, Beverly S. Sheffield Northwest District Park, Jefferson Street, and the West 12th Street Bridge. Topics to be discussed include the “history of the Memorial Day flooding of 1981 along Shoal Creek, strategies that have helped mitigate flooding of our urban creeks both before and after the 1981 flood, and how water moves through developed watersheds.” Wear comfortable walking shoes and dress for the weather.
