POWR strives to support your efforts to restore, protect, and celebrate Pennsylvania’s rivers and watersheds.
William Penn’s definition of a friend aptly describes Pennsylvania’s community of watershed organizations as they are clearly true friends to local rivers, friends “who advise justly, assist readily, adventure boldly, take all patiently, defend courageously, and continue a friend unchangeably.”
