The Mountain Watershed Association will host three public meetings on a new draft Part I of a Conservation Plan for the Youghiogheny River Watershed that provides a holistic approach to preservation and protection.

Part I of the Plan covers Dunbar Creek to the Headwaters in Fayette County.

The document provides an overview all the existing studies for the region and will include a list of recommendations that, when implemented, will improve conditions within the watershed.

The public is invited to learn about the comprehensive plan, and give feedback from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. on-

-- August 16: The Garrett College Performing Arts Center in McHenry MD
