Watershed groups across the South Mountain region have made great strides in protecting and improving water quality, keeping riparian areas as green space, and raising awareness about the importance of our rivers and streams. When these groups work collaboratively with their local municipalities, the impact of these partnerships magnifies the results and ensures longevity of the projects. That is why Capital RC&D and ALLARM partnered with the South Mountain Partnership to organize a FREE half-day work-shop on January 9 from 2 to 6 pm at Dickinson College. This free workshop was open to members of watershed groups in Adams, Cumberland, Franklin, and York counties, as well as staff from municipalities in those counties. Approximately 48 attendees heard from several watershed groups and municipal staff in the region about how they work effectively together on watershed protection efforts.
