Watershed Protection and Education
Watershed – A region or area bounded peripherally by a divide and draining ultimately to a particular watercourse or body of water.
The Conservation District supports watershed association development and projects with organizational and technical assistance provided by the Watershed Specialist. Watershed Associations invite members of a community to work together to solve or repair complex issues within their waterways and watersheds. Currently there are six active watershed associations in Northumberland County. They are:
- Shamokin Creek Restoration Alliance
- Little Shamokin Creek Watershed Association
- Chillisquaque Limestone Watershed Association
- Roaring Creek Valley Conservation Association
- Tri-Valley Watershed Association
- Mahanoy Creek Watershed Association
