The Cambria County Conservation District is now sponsoring a county PA Senior Environment Corps Chapter in partnership with Nature Abounds, the statewide coordinator for the program.

The PaSEC, established in 1997, involves senior volunteers (aged 55+) in activities including water quality monitoring and stream assessments, macroinvertebrate identification, riparian buffer assessment, trail restoration,clean-ups, marking of abandoned wells, and environmental education.

As a sponsor, the District will provide PaSEC volunteers with the opportunity to feel connected to the community and take an active role in protecting our environment and planning for a healthier planet.

The staff at the Conservation District are very excited for the opportunity to participate in this program and are looking forward to uncovering the many benefits of working with the PaSEC volunteers.
