The Slippery Rock Watershed Coalition in Butler County is looking for volunteers for our Adopt-A-Passive Treatment System Program.

Volunteers will be the eyes and ears of the SRWC using simple test kits to make sure the passive treatment systems are working.

The SRWC is also looking for volunteers for our data logger program. A scientific background is not needed for either program.

All that is needed is the ability to walk/hike outdoors, be able to provide a few hours of your time each month, and a desire to help. The Coalition will teach you what you need to know and do.

For more information or to volunteer, contact Cliff Denholm at 724-776-0161 or send email to: sri@streamrestorationinc.org.

Clean Creek Products

Looking for a holiday gift that will please the most discriminating taste and help the environment? Consider pottery products from Clean Creek.

Clean Creek Products, a division of Stream Restoration Inc., a nonprofit watershed restoration organization, was formed to market the metals recovered in treating abandoned mine drainage.  One of the uses for these metals is in ceramic pottery glazing.

Every product you purchase from Clean Creek will not only support the artists that create them, but also helps support watershed groups doing local projects to help restore Pennsylvania's over 16,500 miles of polluted waterways.
