York Watershed Alliance Sponsors Watershed Weekends In September, October

The Watershed Alliance of York and its member groups is sponsoring its annual Watershed Weekends starting September 11 through October 5.
            Watershed Weekends venues are indoors and outdoors fun for the whole family! Use our convenient Watershed Weekends Guide  to locate your watershed and venue nearest you. Guides will also be available to the public at local libraries, municipal offices, York County ANNEX, and from venue sponsors.
            The Watershed Alliance of York is doing our part to help protect and restore the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. The Chesapeake Bay is a national treasure constituting the largest estuary in the United States and one of the largest and most biologically productive estuaries in the world.
            Restoration of the health of the Chesapeake Bay will require a renewed commitment to controlling pollution from all sources as well as protecting and restoring habitat and living resources, conserving lands, and improving management of natural resources, all of which contribute to improved water quality and ecosystem health.   
            Come out and get to know your watershed and the people and organizations working hard to restore and protect it. Watershed Weekends 2010 features 24 public venues. Venues include a variety of hands-on conservation, environmental education, and stewardship activities, in York County’s Watersheds.
            For information, visit the Watershed Weekends 2010 webpage or contact Gary R. Peacock at 717-840-7430.
