Friends of Red Creek Partnership

The Friends of Red Creek Partnership (FORC) was formed in 2006 to help preserve the important Red Creek watershed. Red Creek has a drainage area of over 400 square miles. It is an important sub-basin of the Pascagoula River Watershed, a nationally significant eco-system with the largest unimpeded river in the continental United States. The FORC partnership area includes all of Red Creek as it flows through Stone County. The partnership is a project of the Land Trust for the Mississippi Coastal Plain, whose mission is to conserve, promote and protect the open spaces and green places of ecological, cultural or scenic significance in the counties of the Mississippi Coastal Plain.
