SUMMARY:Perki-Bay Expedition: A Youth Sojourn from Source to Sea
DESCRIPTION:The Perki-Bay Expedition is a one-of-a-kind youth paddling experience. After successfully completing a 6-month internship\, participants embark on a wilderness-style expedition through the heart of Philadelphia. The Perki-Bay Expedition is a 5-day\, 50-mile\, self-supported sojourn\, where participants paddle loaded canoes from the Perkiomen Creek\, down the Schuylkill River and onto the Delaware River – essentially tracing the waters of the Perkiomen to where they meet the sea. Along the way\, students note land-use changes and engage with a wide variety of community groups. This trip is a true catalyst and many students walk away feeling empowered to tackle the many environmental challenges that plague our waterways.

SUMMARY:Hungry for Adventure Sojourn
DESCRIPTION:The Endless Mountains Heritage Region (EMHR) and CHOP Out Hunger are teaming up to host “Hungry for Adventure\,” a two-day river trip from Laceyville to Tunkhannock for youth in our four-county region who are enrolled in CHOP programs.

Due to a limited number of boat rentals and shuttle capacity through EMHR’s pair of water trail managers at Endless Mountain Outfitters (EMO) and Susquehanna Kayak and Canoe Rentals (SKCR)\, we are only capable of taking up to 70 students on these youth river trips.

SUMMARY:Licensing Water Well Drillers for Enhanced Safe Drinking Water and Strengthened Public Safety
DESCRIPTION:Water wells are the primary source of drinking water for millions of Pennsylvanians. Yet\, the Commonwealth is one of only two states to not enforce industry standards for well siting and construction  and only one of three states that does not have statewide industry licensing requirements. The proper siting and construction of private wells is critical for safeguarding water quality and protecting public health. \nProfessional licensing for private water well drillers would strengthen accountability within the industry; ensure industry construction and siting standards are upheld; and establish much-needed consumer protections. \nREGISTER to Join POWR for a Conversation Cafe at 12 noon on May 7 as we host PA DCNR’s Director of Policy\, Nicole Faraguna\, to learn more about this important initiative to improve consumer protections and industry accountability while protecting public health and safety.
