Led by President/CEO J.D Trueblood, Turtle Creek Association is proactive, driven and has a 5 year strategic plan set in place. It consists of enhancing, protecting the natural beauty, landscapes and stabilization of the creek's banks. The plan of action addresses pollution control, restoring bridges, improving safety and introducing cultural art. Both private and public efforts are catalysts to the growth and continued success of this pioneering non profit. It is home to loyal supporters that aid through contributions such as memberships, donations and fundraising events. A highlight for 2022 is their 21st annual Tour of Homes.
