Scroll down for Segment Descriptions and Stream Steward info.
The stream segments in Moscow, ID have been divided up based on bridge crossings and other landmarks. Stream segments outside the city of Moscow, in Latah and Whitman Counties are negotiable. If your group is interested in a stream segment outside of city limits, please describe the segment to us. PCEI will confirm which stream segment your group has “adopted.”
Terms and Conditions:
- Please be safe! Wear high visibility clothing and clean with a partner. Avoid cleaning near roads or other hazardous locations. Be conscious of flow and avoid cleaning during high flow events.
- Clean during daylight hours only.
- Please respect PRIVATE PROPERTY, especially gardens and landscape plants. Most of the land along creeks in Moscow is PRIVATE. PCEI has secured permission to access private lands for the purpose of cleaning the stream.
- Pick up garbage and recyclable material that has been littered on the ground and in the stream. Please keep recyclables separate and dispose of accordingly.
- Leave natural debris alone. Woody debris is good for healthy aquatic ecosystems.
- Try not to disturb wildlife, especially nesting birds with young.
- Fill out Stream Steward Activity Form and e-mail to PCEI so we have a record of your efforts to cleanup and beautify our creeks.
