Lebanon Valley Conservancy, Partners Host Lebanon Valley Clean Water Week Sept. 12-19

 Lebanon Valley Clean Water Week is a new county‑wide initiative designed to deepen public understanding of clean water, watershed health, and the interconnected nature of our local waterways. 

Taking place September 12-19, 2026, the week will feature hands‑on educational experiences hosted by environmental organizations, schools, municipalities, and community groups across Lebanon County. 

By uniting partners under a shared identity and coordinated outreach effort, Lebanon Water Week aims to strengthen community stewardship, expand environmental literacy, and inspire long‑term engagement in conservation.

Local waterways face increasing pressures from pollution, development, and climate ‑ related impacts. 

While many organizations work on water ‑ related issues, these efforts often occur independently, limiting collective reach. Lebanon Valley Clean Water Week fills this gap by providing:

-- A shared platform for education and engagement

-- County ‑ wide visibility for partnering organizations

-- Collaborative opportunities that strengthen relationships among partners

-- Accessible learning experiences for youth, families, and community members

Visit the Lebanon Valley Clean Water Week webpage for a schedule of educational programs and experiences.  Sponsorship opportunities are available.
