Goose Creek Association

Our mission is to protect and preserve the Goose Creek Watershed and surrounding land and natural resources which run through Fauquier and Loudoun Counties. We do this by monitoring the water quality of streams, tracking data throughout seasons, and coordinating a number of huge tree plantings in the riparian buffer areas along Goose Creek in both counties. Since 2012, we have coordinated these plantings with local schools and students. In total, we have planted over 10,000 trees.

We educate the public through presentations and community meetings and advocate at the local and state level. Additionally, we sponsor a number of children to attend summer watershed and conservation camps as well as local historical camps. We also work with other local conservation groups in a concerted effort for preservation, awareness and advocacy. We appreciate your support and encourage you to learn more about our organization.
