The Pennsylvania Land Trust Association has launched the beta version of its “Find a Pennsylvania Watershed Association” tool. You can use it to identify watershed associations and the watersheds they serve by typing in an address or clicking on a map.
Type in your home address or city-- Erie, PA for example-- in the address box and a list of local watershed groups will appear that work in your area along with links to their website or social media addresses for more information.
PALTA defines a watershed association is a non-governmental organization whose mission focuses on protecting, restoring health to, or monitoring a specific body of water, or educating on how policies and actions in the watershed impact the water body; it advances its mission at least in part by performing on-the-ground or in-the-water projects such as streamside tree plantings, aquatic habitat improvements, stream cleanups, and water quality monitoring.
