Washington, Iowa, Johnson, Keokuk, and several other Iowa counties, have been named recipients of Iowa DNR’s County Creek Sign Grant Program. The grant program provides funds to conservation and natural resource groups to install creek and watershed signs on county roads or city streets within priority watersheds. A watershed is an area of land that drains into a body of water.

The County Creek Sign Grant program is funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Section 319 program and awarded by the Iowa DNR.
