Stones River Watershed Association
If you live in Murfreesboro, you live in the Stones River watershed. When we say watershed, we mean that region of land that drains to a certain river system.
The Stones River Watershed Association works to protect, preserve, enhance and restore the natural resources within the Stones River Watershed.
National Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Conservation Security Program (CSP)
The Stones River watershed is included in the 2005 NRCS CSP program. CSP is a voluntary program that provides financial and technical assistance to promote the conservation and improvement of soil, water, air, energy, plant and animal life on private working lands. Working lands include cropland, grassland, prairie land, improved pasture, and range land, as well as forested land that is an incidental part of an agriculture operation. For more information, contact Larry Robeson at 615-893-9295.
