20 New Stories - REAL Environmental & Conservation Leadership In PA

There are 20 new stories in this week’s
PA Environment Digest that show the leadership of a late conservation leader, a sugar maple farmer, people of faith planting Trees of Peace, a forest industry group promoting sustainability and stewardship, a RiverKeeper trying to connect to people with songs, green stormwater infrastructure innovators, many groups pointing out the need for more resources for local environmental projects and putting the spotlight on equity and diversity issues in recreation.

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.

Thank you for your leadership!
