25 New Stories - REAL Environmental & Conservation Leadership In PA

There are 25 new stories in this week’s
PA Environment Digest about securing our environmental rights in the state constitution, volunteers planting trees, cleaning up illegal dumps and litter, urging Congress to help coal country workers and communities, setting a new direction in Chesapeake Bay funding, recognizing solar energy pioneers, advocating for land conservation and protection of wildlife corridors.

There are many, many more people just like these working all across Pennsylvania to restore and protect the environment and show others the beauty that surrounds us.
