PWP’s mission is to restore and protect the health of the rivers, streams, lakes, and wetlands of Pennsylvania through hands-on stewardship and education, thereby benefiting the region's communities, economy, and quality of life. Over the past three years, the PWP Water Warriors have removed more than 42 tons of illegally dumped debris and litter from waterways in Western Pennsylvania. Approximately 300 volunteers participate in their organized watershed stewardship events annually.
This year, PWP will be using their Club Fostered Stewardship grant funds to support their 2015 Watershed Stewardship Campaign, which will include at least 12 cleanups of local creeks, rivers, and lakes through October 2015. If you're in the area and you would like to help out, please fill out their Water Warrior volunteer form.
Through funds provided by L.L. Bean, the ACA's Club Fostered Stewardship program has provided nearly $130,000 to over 135 different stewardship initiatives since its inception thirteen years ago.
