“Know Your Watershed Days”
celebrated across the Lehigh Valley September 14-16
The Watershed Coalition of the Lehigh Valley and its partners will sponsor “Know Your Watershed Days” across the Lehigh Valley from Friday, September 14 through Sunday, September 16. From streamside plantings and community garden cleanups, to interpretive nature walks and rain barrel workshops, “Know Your Watershed Days” activities will promote awareness of the Lehigh Valley’s many watersheds and water resources, the all-volunteer community watershed organizations that look after these resources and the Watershed Coalition of the Lehigh Valley. Additional goals for the day include recruiting new members to join local watershed groups and building interest to create community watershed organizations for watersheds in areas where no such group currently exists.
Six community watershed and conservation organizations will host activities in watersheds in Northampton and Lehigh counties as part of “Know Your Watershed Days” on September 14, 15 and 16. To find out which organization is hosting an event near you, log onto the Watershed Coalition of the Lehigh Valley’s website at www.watershedcoalitionlv.org and click on the “Know Your Watershed Days” link.
The Watershed Coalition of the Lehigh Valley was established in 2010 as an umbrella network for the Valley’s many independent community watershed organizations. The aims of the Coalition are to promote collaboration, innovation and resource-sharing among the Lehigh Valley’s many citizen-based watershed groups and assist them in meeting their goals and objectives.
