current knowledge and experience of those directly involved in the overall
health of Lower Butte Creek. The BCREP’s

Put simply, our approach involves learning from our mistakes as well as our great ideas, and adjusting or modifying plans, agendas, and ideals as the process unfolds. At Prescott College, we like to trust the process, which helps ensure that plan’s goals, objectives, and tasks reflect, as accurately as possible, the current on-the-ground conditions and management situations.
