JWP Programs and Program Areas
Applied Research and Watershed Planning
Auke Lake Action Planning
The Auke Lake Watershed Assessment, completed by the Juneau Watershed Partnership (JWP) in 2009, offers an inventory of watershed land use and characteristics. The Auke Lake Action Plan is a continuation of that work in order to identify and prioritize preliminary steps towards the implementation of continued management for the sustainable use of Auke Lake's natural resources.
Restoration and Enhancement of Aquatic Habitats in Juneau, Alaska
In 1994, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFG) published a report entitled, “Restoration and Enhancement of Aquatic Habitats in Alaska: Case Study Reports, Policy Guidance and Recommendations.” (Parry and Seaman, 1994). Using this report as a guide, the JWP proposes to inventory and assess past habitat restoration and enhancement projects implemented on Juneau’s waterways.
Education and Outreach
Slash the Trash!
“Slash the Trash” is a program designed to reduce garbage accumulation in Juneau’s streams and rivers. Working with the AK Department of Environmental Conservation, AK Fish & Game, US Forest Service, Litter Free, Inc. and the City and Borough of Juneau, JWP is trying to find long term solutions to Juneau’s public garbage problem.
Montana Creek Stream Stewardship Project
The ‘Montana Creek Stream Stewardship Project’ is a year-long community education and stewardship program that will promote the health and wise use of Montana Creek. The long term goal of this project is to improve water quality and preserve salmon habitat and wetland protection in Montana Creek.
Promoting Citizen-Based Salmon Habitat Protection
In order to achieve our goal of advocating for responsible and adaptive watershed management, JWP will work with riparian landowners and the CBJ to promote salmon habitat and riparian buffer protection. There are two main audiences we hope to reach with this work- (1) the riparian landowner and (2) the CBJ Wetlands Review Board, Planning Commission, and Planning Department.
Weeds in the Watershed
Working with the Juneau Cooperative Weed Management Area (JNU-CWMA), JWP will provide staff time to support the development of an integrated invasive weed management plan for Juneau.
