SUMMARY:Webinar: Riparian Buffers...Not Just for Water Quality
DESCRIPTION:Meadows and forests adjacent to waterways not only help remove pollutants from stormwater flowing into our waterways\, they also serve as important habitat and migration corridors for many of Pennsylvania’s native land (and air) based animals! Knowing and understanding these additional benefits can help you engage and inspire more people in your community by tapping into the issues and creatures they may care most about. \nDuring this free webinar\, staff of the PA Game Commission and volunteers of Bird Town Pennsylvania will share their expert knowledge about mammal and bird species that use these habitats to feed\, breed and raise young\, take cover from predators\, and migrate seasonally from their summer to winter homes. There will also be plenty of time for conversations and questions. \nRegister today to make sure you get the Zoom link. Deadline to register is 4 PM on Monday January 16. \nThis event is FREE\, but registration is required.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Managing Invasive Species and Overgrown Landscapes with Goats
DESCRIPTION:We hope you will join us for a presentation about managing the fast-growing\, pervasive\, and invasive Japanese Knotweed. Japanese Knotweed is commonly found along streams and rivers\, in low-lying areas\, and in disturbed areas such as rights-of-way. It often creates monoculture stands that threaten native plant communities. It is notoriously difficult to manage and get rid of! \nJoin POWR and your watershed organization colleagues for a presentation on one method that was used to control knotweed in a local park: GOATS! During the webinar\, you will learn how this approach was was selected\, planned\, and implemented\, how the community and key partners worked together\, and what the short and long-term outcomes have been\, and what it all cost. Our presenters will also share some key lessons learned\, in case you want to consider a similar effort in your watershed! \nThis free webinar\, presented by staff and volunteers of the Shenango River Watchers and the Sharon Beautification Commission\, will also include plenty of time for conversations and questions. \nRegister today to make sure you get the Zoom link.

SUMMARY:2022 Watershed Congress: The Clean Water Act at 50
DESCRIPTION:The Watershed Congress is an annual event that seeks to advance the best available information and techniques for protecting and restoring watersheds. The focus on networking across disciplines means that the Watershed Congress melds science\, policy\, and practical applications into one program. As a result\, the annual Watershed Congress is a highly anticipated event for people interested in understanding\, protecting\, and restoring their local streams. \nIn a Watershed Congress special event\, this year’s programming will be shorter than in previous years to spotlight the 50th Anniversary of 1972’s landmark legislation. \nJoin us as environmental leaders in our region present an in depth look at the promise of the Clean Water Act\, the effectiveness of its implementation to date\, what it has meant for our communities\, and the future of ongoing efforts and advocacy to secure truly fishable and swimmable waters. \nFor more information\, visit the 2022 Watershed Congress Website: bit.ly/WatershedCongress \nRegister HERE \nIn person and virtual options available.
