TCCCA is committed to monitoring, preserving, enhancing and promoting the Conewago Creek Watershed through education, community involvement and watershed improvement projects. The Conewago Creek Watershed encompasses more than 50 square miles in parts of eight different municipalities in Lancaster, Dauphin and Lebanon Counties. Its headwaters are in Mt. Gretna and it discharges into the Susquehanna near the village of Falmouth. TCCCA is involved in actual activities designed to protect and improve the water quality of the Conewago, such as stabilizing stream banks to prevent erosion, adding shade and further erosion protection by planting trees along the creek, and conducting educational and public outreach initiatives. The next monthly meeting of TCCCA will be
held Wednesday, September 25, 2002. TCCCA holds its regular meetings at
7:00 p.m. on the last Wednesday of every month at the Lawn Fire Co.
Building. All members of the public are invited to attend and become
members of TCCCA. # # # |
