Proctor Creek Watershed Story MapProctor Creek at Grove Park, Atlanta, GA

Register for the Proctor Creek Watershed Story Map webinar. 

Part of EPA’s mandate is to restore and maintain watersheds and their aquatic ecosystems to protect human health, support economic and recreational activities, and provide healthy habitat for fish, plants and wildlife. Substantial coordination and informed decisions and actions at the local and state levels are required to ensure this success. Recently, EPA developed the Proctor Creek Watershed Story Map in collaboration with Proctor Creek residents and stakeholders in Atlanta, Georgia to share important information about the Proctor Creek watershed; explore community-identified concerns, such as flooding and water quality, urban heat islands, mosquitoes, and health; and consider the potential for green infrastructure to address those concerns.

This presentation provides an overview of Story Maps (i.e., easy-to-use interactive online tools that combine maps with narrative text, images, and multimedia content), and how they can be used to: 

• Inform, connect with, and engage communities as stewards of their environment; and 
• Aid in future decision-making that is protective of human health and the environment.
