(S) Summit SWCD June HUC (Watershed) Highlight
5 events during June
Summit Soil & Water’s programming will focus on what a watershed is and how residents can take action to protect their local waterways. This summer, we’re excited to launch the pilot of the HUC Highlight program. HUC, or Hydrologic Unit Code, is used to identify and classify watersheds by size and location. Each month from May through September, we’ll spotlight a different watershed in Summit County, featuring engaging events and activities to inspire stewardship and awareness.
June - The Wingfoot Watershed
The Wingfoot Watershed is located along the southern edge of the Lake Erie Basin and has a drainage area of approximately 30.79 square miles (19,706 acres) across both Summit and Portage counties. This watershed contains one of the 26 named tributaries of the Cuyahoga River, the Little Cuyahoga. The eastern segment of the Wingfoot watershed is relatively undeveloped and consists of primarily rural/suburban with some agricultural land use areas and a few Industrial facilities in the Village of Mogadore; while the remaining portion of the Wingfoot watershed is mostly heavily developed and modified, impervious urban/industrial land.
Explore more about this watershed with Summit SWCD staff this month!
