Honey Hollow Watershed is a 700-acre watershed managed for agriculture and the first in the nation to show that cooperative action, with federal technical assistance, can shape land use. The conservation area here was formed in 1939 by six farms on Honey Hollow Creek, supported by the U.S. Soil Conservation Service, to protect soil, water, and wildlife. It became a prototype for thousands of watersheds across the nation and was named a National Historic Landmark in 1969.
