POWR, PEC Hold Regional Watershed Workshops June 20 Carlisle, June 28 Doylestown

The PA Organization for Watersheds and Rivers and PA Environmental Council will hold two more in its series of regional watershed workshops on June 20 in Carlisle, Cumberland County and on June 28 in Doylestown, Bucks County.

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 to be held on February 24-25, 2019 in State College.

The next two workshops will be held--
