Founded in 1999, ECWA turns 20 this year. In recognition, the story of the Ellerbe Creek Watershed Association's founding and early years has just been added to this website.
In this photo from the early days, Sofia Hiltner draws a meandering creek along the front walk of her home in the Watts Hospital-Hillandale neighborhood. The founder's first encounters with Ellerbe Creek were in the park where he took Sofie to play.
