Oak Creek Watershed Council Protecting one of Arizonas greatest treasures and the habitat it supports The Oak Creek Watershed Council is a 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to preserving the health and integrity of Oak Creek. Oak Creek is a perennial springfed stream that stretches fifty miles from its headwaters in Oak Creek Canyon and flows through Sedona Page Springs and Cornville to its confluence with the Verde River. As one of the last freerunning streams in Arizona Oak Creek is a precious jewel of riparian habitat in the desert Southwest where human activity has destroyed over 90 of all rivers and streams. With increased tourism and visitation Oak Creeks unique riparian ecosystem is being challenged like never before.
