Three Mile Creek Watershed Management
Restoring an Urban Watershed
The planning process for improving the Three Mile Creek Watershed has included numerous community meetings and forums for participation.
A spring clean-up day for Three Mile Creek drew nearly 100 volunteers from several states. We collected about 25 to 30 large garbage bags full of trash, including old clothes, bottles, cans, and rubber tires.

Three Mile Creek flows 14 miles through the city of Mobile, Alabama, and offers potential as a unique recreational destination, an educational resource, and a vibrant community amenity. Working with the Mobile Bay National Estuary Program (MBNEP), our multidiscipline team is studying the creek’s water quality, meeting with the community, and developing a Comprehensive Watershed Management Plan. The plan will address enhancing the natural hydrology and water quality, improving civic and green space throughout the watershed, preserving historic sites, and identifying areas for housing and other development.
