The PA Environmental Council, PA Organization For Watersheds and Rivers and other partners will host the statewide Watershed Connections - Leveraging Our Power For Watershed Health- Conference on February 24-25 in State College.

The Conference will be a significant education, training and networking opportunity for anyone involved in watershed groups, restoration, water quality monitoring, building organizational capacity and more.

The program will feature national, state and local presenters, exhibits, one-on-one mentorship opportunities and engaging keynote and guest speakers.

PEC held workshops in each of DEP’s six Regional Office areas over the last year to, in part, help develop the agenda for the Conference.

Reservations are now being accepted at the Wyndham Garden State College and the Penn State Ramada for this special event.

Sponsorship opportunities are also available.  Click Here for more information.
