Independence Conservancy is seeking input to the Raccoon Creek Watershed Conservation Plan in Beaver County through an innovative News & Notes e-newsletter and an online citizen survey.

The News & Notes e-newsletter links people to conservation efforts in the Raccoon Creek Watershed in Beaver, Washington and Allegheny Counties. Matt Kramer, Wildlife Conservation Officer for Southern Beaver County, called the site "...very nicely done, a good source of information about Raccoon Creek and an easy way for people to take part in the Raccoon Creek Watershed Conservation Plan."

Vicky Michaels, Executive Director of Independence Conservancy, touts an added incentive for people to take the online Citizen Survey.

"Anyone who takes the Citizen Survey by November 30th, answers all the questions and provides some contact info is eligible to win a $75 Visa gift card. But be sure to answer all the questions - a good Plan depends on thoughtful public input. What's your vision for the future of Raccoon Creek?"
