The Sunday Creek Watershed Group is sponsored by Rural Action; a nonprofit organization that is membership based promoting social, economic and environmental justice in Appalachian Ohio. The Sunday Creek Watershed Group (SCWG) is committed to restoring and preserving water quality through community interaction, conservation, and education in pursuit of a healthy ecosystem capable of supporting biodiversity and recreation. Some of the major water quality impacts on Sunday Creek include acid mine drainage, improperly treated wastewater, illegal dumping, and sedimentation. Our group focuses restoration activities around these issues.

The Sunday Creek Watershed is 139 square miles (88,775 acres). It encompasses part of Perry, Athens, and Morgan Counties. Sunday Creek measures 27 miles long and starts flowing North of Corning and flows south through Chauncey where it enters into the Hocking River. Sunday Creek Watershed is primarily wooded (78%), 38% of the watershed has been deep mined for coal, and 15% of the land is public, owned by the Wayne National Forest.
