Through the Swannanoa Watershed Conservation Project project, Cool Rivers Forever supported the SwanWater organization in the preparation of community workshops using the Doughnut Economics model, as well as in the preparation of thematic maps delineating the sub-basins on the and environmental and social MS-Access databases for the watershed.
In support of the Swannanoa Valley Museum & History Center, Cool Rivers Forever have had conversations regarding the preparation of an Story Map of the North Fork Valley, which is one of the sub-basins of the Swannanoa River watershed. This valley has an interesting population and cultural history and houses the most important water reservoir in the region, called Burnett Reservoir. This activity is still a project idea.
