Join the PA Organization for Watersheds and Rivers for a September 11 webinar from Noon to 1:00 p.m. on Pennsylvania's 2022 Fertilizer Law designed to protect local streams.

Denise Uzupis, a Natural Resource Program Specialist with the Department of Agriculture, will provide an overview of the new law, to whom it applies, and how you can help spread the word about better lawn management for improved water quality!

This webinar will provide watershed organization leaders and other community outreach and water education volunteers with additional knowledge and resources to use and share with target audiences to ensure we are all doing our part to keep pollution out of local waterways.
