Community and Membership Outreach

Through a wide variety of activities and projects, LWA works to promote conservation and environmental protection throughout the entire Loyalhanna Creek Watershed. In addition, LWA constantly looks to engage community members in all of these projects. Roadside and trail cleanups, nature trail revitalization, and recycling are just a few projects coordinated by LWA.

     

Citizen's Guide to the Loyalhanna Creek Watershed

With funding from the League of Women Voters WREN program, the LWA created a user-friendly guide to caring for our watershed. Watershed restoration and improvement starts in the backyard of each and every community member within the entire watershed. Stop in the office, or call for your copy today!

  Roadside & Dumpsite Cleanups  
  Each year, LWA coordinates the clean-up efforts of roadsides and dumpsites throughout local communities. So far in 2007, over 70 miles of roadways were cleared of debris by volunteers from local businesses, clubs, organizations, and individual community members interested in preserving the beauty of the area.

  River Sweep  
  LWA coordinates the annual River Sweep of the Loyalhanna Gorge each June with help from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. Route 30 East/West along with the Sleepy Hollow Causeway area are cleaned of roadside litter, tires, car parts, and other trash by volunteers from local communities and Adelphoi Village.
