Comeback Creek: Starkweather has a new set of friends – just in time

…Friends of Starkweather Creek helped get $180,000 for creek improvement projects into the city of Madison budget that was approved earlier this month. A new analysis of the creek, from scientific and social perspectives, will be developed by UW-Madison students as part of a multi-disciplinary project in the water resources management program. The efforts could be a last chance to head off further urban pollution of the creek as major development projects are built at the creek’s upper reaches.
