The Bean Blossom watershed encompasses 192.6 square miles in the northern parts of Brown and Monroe Counties. The area is quite diverse with a combination of forests, agricultural lands, urban areas, wetlands and other uses. The watershed project implementation plan was equally diverse in attacking the water quality issues from various venues – public awareness demonstrations sites and events, educational materials, and cost share incentives for landowners.
