Wolf Run Watershed Management Plan
Friends of Wolf Run works with the Wolf Run Watershed Council, The Lexington, Fayette Urban County Government and the Kentucky Division of Water to update and implement the Wolf Run Watershed Management Plan.
Stream Buffer Restoration
Friends of Wolf Run works with local neighborhood groups in restoring sections of creek in their area, both on public lands and private property. Learn more about becoming a stream steward here!
Water Quality Monitoring
Friends of Wolf Run works with Watershed Watch in Kentucky to carry out regular water quality monitoring that informs our restoration work. If you can count to 10 and tell the difference between red and green you would qualify! For more information visit Watershed Watch in Kentucky's website to sign up.
Technical Assistance and Planning
If you are a streamside property owner, we would like to provide you with no-cost assistance in managing your stream banks and riparian areas. Please contact us at friend@wolfruwnater.org to learn more.
Friends of Wolf Run is an all volunteer led 501(c)3 Non-Profit organization. We do use landscaping and natural land management contractors to carry out specific projects within our watershed. We also cooperate with WaterwaysLex and allied organizations in our area such as Hickman Creek Conservancy, Neighbors United for South Elkhorn Creek, and the Kentucky River Basin Team and, of course, Lexington Fayette Urban County Government (Parks, Environmental Services, Water Quality, etc...)
If you notice, we do not have fundraising links on this website.
Though no contribution would be refused, (and would be tax-deductible)
We are more interested in your involvement in the field than your money.
We benefit greatly from city, state, federal and corporate grants for our restoration, monitoring and planning work.
Our funding is based on our ability to engage volunteers and neighborhood/community groups in improving our watershed.
So, if you have an hour for an outing, or would like to volunteer as part of our program leadership, please let us know.
Many hands make light work!
