Organizing Committee for Clover Creek Restoration Action Alliance
Dear Residents of the Clover-Chambers Creek Watershed and Allies,
We are the Clover Creek Restoration Action Alliance, watershed residents and allies who are fed up with the destruction of our natural resources and are organizing to fight back. Here are three things we could use your help with to further that goal:
Tomorrow 2/22, Email Lakewood Planning or Attend Hearing at 11 am:
The City of Lakewood is reviewing a conditional use permit for the conversion of a site (see property opposite the Lakewood Mission Baptist Church) to a new warehouse for B&D foods. The problem? The original property is way too close to the creek, leaving no buffer to absorb runoff from the asphalt, now needed for the truck traffic, washing, and other things granted by this permit.
We request that all Clover Creek supporters contact abell@cityoflakewood.us or attend the Zoom hearing tomorrow to request the following: the condition for the conditional use permit should be the restoration of a healthy creek buffer of 50 feets in what is now less than 15 feet. This buffer is to be depaved and replanted.
Zoom hearing:

Passcode: 815586 or Dial +1(253) 215- 8782 and enter participant ID: 869 0843 4439

March 7th, join our community meeting:
We’re hosting another community meeting at the Parkland-Spanaway Pierce County library on March 7th at 6:30 pm. We would love for folks to spead the word and attend! We will be discussing how we can pressure the county to adopt our demands, educate the community, and restore the watershed!
Share your pictures of the Creek to our shared folder here:
A picture is worth a thousand words. Do you have any to share with our network of Clover Creek or the watershed? You can upload them below to be used in our future advocacy.
