The Forum will begin together community partners, regional non-profits, community organizations, watershed associations, municipal governments, visitors bureaus, and sponsors from surrounding counties, including Lackawanna, Luzerne, Columbia, and Montour Counties.
Participants will benefit from informative presentations, resources, access to supplies and information on where the grants are to assist our region with addressing the ongoing illegal dumping of trash and tires problem we continue to address across the region with limited resources.
Several local legislators have been invited to attend and will send out invites to others who may be interested in attending.
We could use their support to come up with solutions and ideas that I am sure many of our Coalition partners are going to be bringing to the discussion.
It's free to attend, and coffee, snacks, and even pizza for lunch will be provided thanks to a few sponsors that will be named on the event page and during the event.
Please mark "Going" on the Facebook announcement if you can make it so we can plan accordingly for the lunch count and refreshments.
EPCAMR has been conducting community cleanups across the Coalfields for nearly 25 of our 30 years of existence in partnership with many, many groups across our 16 county coverage area.
We are continuing to go back through our archives to add additional cleanups in those counties to our new online geographic information system (GIS) Story Map that will be highlighted during the forum.
There are a lot of events going on in April and we understand that people have limited time and there is competition to be in many places at once on the weekends with families, friends, trips, Spring weather, and even other cleanups a few weeks before Earth Day Week.
