They particularly generate jobs in food services, health care, and retail trade. Identifying and developing watershed health and outdoor recreation programs will not only improve quality of life and physical and mental health for current residents, but make our watershed more attractive for retirees.  Our VISTA’s work plan suports our larger capacity-building to educate and recruit support for identifying projects that will benefit our older population, resident as well as incoming retirees.</li><li class="MsoNormal">We will also identify projects that will appeal to and expose youth to recreational and educational experiences in streams and the watershed that supports them.  VISTA members working closely in communities can facilitate conversations with new partners to meet the needs of underserved youth and minorities by sharing opportunities.  WVDEP SPP grants fund water festivals, rain gardens, fishing derbys, snorkeling, trout in the classroom and Project Water Education for Today (Project WET) curriculum in the schools.  There are many more opportunities to explore such as art in parks, wildlife viewing, fishing, rafting, kayaking and hiking. We will follow work plans that will require identifying underserved youth and minorities as stakeholders in watershed protection and community development.</li><li class="MsoNormal">Finally, remediating the historic environmental degradation and poorly maintained infrastructure which is degrading the streams in itself can be a source of employment and local business development.
