CRWP, Eastlake, Mentor and Willoughby team up
to restore Newell/Ward Creek

You may be eligible for a FREE rain garden kit, rain barrel, or shade tree!  CRWP is partnering with Eastlake, Mentor, and Willoughby through a Great Lakes Restoration Initiative grant to give residents in the Newell/Ward Creek watershed an opportunity to reduce the amount of stormwater runoff that ends up in our streams by redirecting downspout flow to rain gardens, rain barrels or planting a shade tree.  These are easy options for residents to help intercept and infiltrate stormwater in their own yards.
