Big Muddy Speaker Series presents:

Join us for a special edition of the St. Charles Big Muddy Speaker Series... right here in Wentzville!

Why Wentzville? Because we’re talking about improving the water quality of Peruque Creek watershed, so it only makes sense to meet right in the watershed itself.

Do you visit any of these local favorites?

• Quail Ridge Park

• Peruque Valley Park

• Foristell City Park

• Corwin S. Ruge Memorial Park

• Lake Saint Louis lake

If you said yes, then you’ve already enjoyed the beauty of Peruque Creek. Unfortunately, this local stream is currently suffering from sediment and nutrient pollution, which directly impacts the wildlife, health, and recreational use of the stream and Lake Saint Louis.

The good news? We can fix this together. A dedicated alliance of local residents, businesses, and organizations has formed to restore our community’s natural water quality. 

Kelly Dunlap with the City of Wentzville and Coordinator of the Peruque Creek Watershed Alliance will present information about the pollution impacting this creek and the Alliance’s efforts including:

• How upcoming grants, community programs, and watershed management decisions have a positive impact on our local community. 

• Exactly how you can get involved in protecting Peruque Creek right in your own backyard.

• Actionable steps being taken to decrease pollution and restore Peruque Creek.
