The mission of the Tanana Valley Watershed Association is to promote and improve the
health of the Tanana Valley watershed through education, restoration, collaborative
research, and diverse community involvement.
The Adopt-A-Stream program is a volunteer based mission coordinated by
the TVWA in partnership with the Fairbanks Stormwater Advisory
Committee. The goal is to get residents and local businesses involved
in monitoring the water quality and fish and wildlife habitat of our
local streams.
TVWA goals include working with residents, local government and agencies to develop stream enhancement plans that will improve the recreational value of these waterways, while maintaining or improving the fish and wildlife habitat values.
The Tanana Valley Watershed Association has partnered with the
Fairbanks North Star Borough Planning Commission and the Department of
Community Planning to formulate a riparian management plan for the
Borough’s consideration and potential implementation.
