Stonycreek River of Year event set

Major excitement is planned for the June 16 Stonycreek River of the Year Celebration at Greenhouse Park near Johnstown.  The Laurel Highlands can be proud of the expanding whitewater activity as releases from Quemahoning Reservoir increase water levels for boating.  Several other major events are planned in May into August.  See all the details here.

Conservation Conference successful

Dr. Leonard Konikow, an international expert from the US Geological Survey, talked about "the tragedy of the commons" that can happen when many people have access to the same pool of groundwater with no control over withdrawals.  The result is incentive to use up the water before the other people do.  Click here more more about this and other presentations at the Conference.
