Public Meetings Set For Slippery Rock Creek Watershed Conservation Plan
|
|
The Slippery Rock Creek Watershed Coalition and its partners have scheduled public meetings for June 29 and 30 on the final Slippery Rock Creek Watershed Conservation Plan.
The purpose of the plan is to provide the general public, municipalities, watershed community, and government agencies with a concise, easily read and used, repository of the natural, historical, cultural and recreational resources while emphasizing opportunities for stewardship and economic growth within the Slippery Rock Creek Watershed.
The SRCWCP has been supported by local stakeholders, including county and local government agencies, businesses, watershed and community service groups, non-profit organizations, and interested citizens. In addition, surveys have been collected throughout the grant period from local citizens and representatives of local businesses and agencies.
The SRCWCP will strive to be a useful document to help address the interests, issues, and concerns provided in each of the surveys.
The final plan has been completed and sent to DCNR for approval. Public meetings are scheduled at two locations and each public meeting will begin at 7 p.m.--
-- June 29 at Boyers Sportsman’s Club, 1103 Boyers Road, Boyers, Pa; and
-- June 30 at Slippery Rock Township Municipal Building, 155 Branchton Road, Slippery Rock, Pa.
The Slippery Rock Creek Watershed Coalition has partnered with Stream Restoration Incorporated, a nonprofit organization, to complete the Watershed Conservation Plan.
The Slippery Rock Creek Watershed is about 410 square miles and covers parts of Beaver, Butler, Lawrence, Mercer, and Venango Counties. Funding was provided by the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Community Conservation Partnerships Program and the Pennsylvania Foundation for Watersheds.
