Tami Shimp from Berks Nature and Tom Davidock for the Delaware Estuary Partnership share the story of collaboration. The collaboration doesn’t work without your participation. The Schuylkill River Watershed is huge and includes all the land surrounding streams and rivers that flow into the Schuylkill River. It all ultimately drains into the Delaware and the Atlantic Ocean. In the past decade over 500 projects and 400 million dollars have been invested to protect the waters and keep them clean and safe for drinking, for wildlife and for recreation. Tom talks about 8 clusters of focus including restoration or land improvement, agricultural practices, and land conservation. You are invited to be part of the solution to clean water. Plant trees and shrubbery near streams. Participate in Schuylkill Scrub clean-up efforts and projects. Learn how what you do every day affects our precious water resource. Most importantly take advantage of this gift of water, not just for drinking and bathing but for recreation too. The more you use it the more you value it.
