Your Invitation ~
We invite you to become part of the Friends of Mill Creek, a group dedicated to protecting and enhancing the Mill Creek Water Trail and its surrounding watershed. A healthy creek means more than clean water — it means stronger neighborhoods, thriving wildlife, and a vibrant community for everyone to enjoy.
