The PA Organization for Watersheds and Rivers and PA Environmental Council will hold a series of regional workshops for watershed groups this year and a statewide watershed conference in 2019.

The first workshop will be held April 25 at the Montour Preserve Visitors Center, 700 Preserve Road in Danville, Montour County from 10:00 to 2:00.  Click Here to register or for more information.

The first workshop in Montour County is to recognize the selection of the Loyalsock Creek as the 2018 PA River of the Year.

 The workshops will provide opportunities for community watershed groups to gather and learn about resources and network with each other as well as provide organizational capacity training and hope to set a strong foundation for sustaining watershed conservation and restoration programs.

The gatherings will also help set the agenda for our next statewide conference of watershed organizations in 2019.

Announcements of future workshops will be announced on the POWR and PEC websites.  For more information, contact either Janet Sweeney, PEC Vice President, 570-718-6507 or send email to: Jsweeney@pecpa.org or Susan Myerov, PEC Director of Watershed Programs, at 215-545-4570 or send email to: smyerov@pecpa.org.
