Despite its humble beginnings here two decades ago, the Prescott Creeks Preservation Association has gradually become a leading advocate for water quality and conservation efforts in this area.In 1990, the nonprofit organization was founded through the efforts of residents Bette Bridgewater, Betty Siegfried and retired forester Jay Eby, who established the community's annual Granite Creek Clean-up. To this day, with the help of City of Prescott sanitation trucks, hundreds of volunteers spend one day each year picking up tons of trash that litter the creek beds.
