Connecting to Our Creeks: An Introduction to the TTF Watershed Partnership

Julie Slavet, Executive Director

TTF Watershed Partnership

ABSTRACT:

The Tookany/Tacony-Frankford Watershed Partnership (TTF Watershed) connects its watershed residents and communities to their creeks. TTF Watershed has planted thousands of trees and installed GSI projects at 25 sites across its 30 square mile watershed. Julie Slavet, Executive Director since 2011, will share how this 15 year old organization uses lots of tools to implement education, stewardship, restoration, and advocacy to improve water quality... and how the staff has innovated these past months to stay engaged and get things done.

She came to Tookany/Tacony-Frankford Watershed Partnership in 2011, after serving as the senior district staff member for Congresswoman Allyson Schwartz, leading constituent services and outreach efforts in a district of 650,000 people in Montgomery County and Northeast Philadelphia. Julie has worked at city and state levels of government and for a range of non-profit organizations.
