The Pike County Conservation District produced a bi-fold brochure and webpage on “A Homeowner’s Checklist for a Watershed Friendly Home.”
The brochure presents information about reducing nonpoint source pollution from private property in the form of a checklist homeowners can use to evaluate their own homes.
These brochures have been distributed to the Pike County municipalities and will be handed out at future district events and other locations upon post-pandemic reopening.
Click Here for a copy of the brochure.
To distribute the information more effectively in the current climate, the checklist was also made into an interactive, illustrated webpage allowing people to access the checklist while remaining socially distanced.
Financial and other support for this project is provided by the Pennsylvania Association of Conservation Districts, Inc. through a grant from the Department of Environmental Protection under Section 319 of the Clean Water Act, administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
