Little Shamokin Creek Watershed Association
Our Mission
The Mission of the LSCWA is to promote stewardship that will conserve, protect, assess, enhance, utilize & restore the natural resources of the watershed. This stewardship will be created through a dedicated effort to educate, utilizing cooperation & communication.
What is a watershed?
Everyone lives in a watershed!
A watershed is a land area in which water drains into a body of water like a lake, river or stream. A watershed consists of both the water body & the land which drains into that body of water. This drainage basin collects all of the precipitation as it either runs off the land or percolates through the soil before reentering the stream.
Who We Are
The LSCWA was formed in 2002. We have been committed to the long term protection & enhancement of the Little Shamokin Creek Watershed for the social & economical benefits of it's land-owners, managers & users. We have held annual stream cleanups, conducted monthly water monitoring & completed several watershed assessments with the development of restoration plans. The association has also completed many bank stabilization projects for the community. Workshops concerning stream side management have also been on our schedule of activities. All monthly meetings are open to the public. View calendar for time, date, and location.
The association ( tax-exempt, non profit 501(c) (3)) is comprised of all volunteers for it's staffing.
Governing documents, policies, and financial statements will be provided by contacting Little Shamokin Creek Watershed Assoc. 441 Plum Creek Rd. Sunbury PA, 17801
