The Lancaster Conservancy and many partners will hold the 8th Annual Lancaster Water Week on June 7 - 15 to celebrate the 1,400 miles of streams and rivers in Lancaster County.

Lancaster Water Week features over 60 events as we paddle, explore, volunteer, and take action as a community to protect our streams and rivers for the future!

These waterways are the source of drinking water, drive economic and agricultural growth, and allow us to escape into nature to fish, paddle, and swim.

Many of these beautiful streams are polluted, but there is an incredible effort underway to bring them back to health in our lifetime.
