By serving on the Board of Directors for the Necanicum Watershed Council, you are providing invaluable perspective, feedback and guidance on the present and future of conservation in the Necanicum Basin. Board service commitments vary, but in general, Board Directors are expected to attend sanctioned board meetings, organizational events and serve on committees, as well as provide some fundraising and outreach support.

We strive to continue building strong relationships with all folks in our community and keep working towards the most representative Board of Directors possible.
