Volunteers and Community Care
Care is taken to listen to the needs of the community, be aware of environmental concerns and work with organizations to address challenges facing our neighborhoods. From tree plantings to land use, Crooked Creek Indy is there for you. We received KIB grants that allowed for the planting of nearly 600 trees along the Michigan Rd. Corridor over the last 3 years, implemented clean-ups, planted perennials and enhanced the corridor all with community support. Need a project for your organization.

About the Stream & Watershed
Crooked Creek is an urban stream that originates in southern Hamilton County, flows southerly through Pike & Washington Townships and discharges into the White River and drains approx. 20 square miles. Crooked Creek has been dredged and is degraded by urbanization. Water quality problems include heavy sediment loads from uncontrolled construction sites, septic effluents, the discharge of raw sewage from surcharging sewers during moderate rainfalls, and nonpoint source pollutants enter the creek in stormwater runoff. Flooding also is a problem in the watershed.
