Managing Campaigns

Follow these simple steps to make your efforts a success…

1. Personalize your campaign adding details like duration, photos and your personal motivation for protecting Our Creeks.  
2. Spread the word about your Action Tracker Campaign and ask your people to join in. Use the provided tools to share with your participants and ask them to join the effort. Start tracking your actions and watch as your campaign protects our creeks by helping your participants make simple changes that have a big impact.
3. Watch for emails from contributors. Contributions are open to the public, so you have the ability to edit or remove any unwanted contributions.
4. Monitor your Action Tracker Campaign, encourage ongoing participation and when complete, celebrate the difference you made for our creeks. Your Action Tracker Campaign will tabulate all of the participant’s efforts and provide you with valuable insight into how your actions have kept pollutants like litter, coliform, soap and more from our creeks.
