Hay Creek Added to PA Rivers Conservation Registry

The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources this week published notice of its approval of the Hay Creek Watershed Management Plan and that it is placing Hay Creek and all its tributaries in Berks County on the Pennsylvania Rivers Conservation Registry.

The Rivers Conservation Registry was established to promote river conservation and recognize rivers or river segments in communities who have completed river conservation plans. The registry is also an avenue to endorse local initiatives by binding them together in a statewide recognition program. In order for a river to be placed on the registry, it must have an approved plan and local municipal support. Registry status must be achieved to qualify for implementation, development or acquisition grants.
