SUMMARY:Webinar:  PA Fertilizer Law and Homeowner Lawn Care For Healthy Watersheds
DESCRIPTION:Pennsylvania’s Fertilizer Law was updated in July of 2022 in part to help protect local streams and rivers. But many homeowners still don’t know about it and how it applies to them. Join POWR as we host Denise Uzupis\, Natural Resource Program Specialist with the PA Department of Agriculture\, to learn more about the law\, to whom it applies\, and how you can help spread the word about better lawn management for improved water quality! \nAs critical community outreach and education volunteers\, you help people understand how their actions affect water quality. This webinar will provide you with additional knowledge and resources you can use and share with others to ensure we are all doing our part to keep pollution out of local waterways. \nThis webinar is free\, but registration is required in order to receive the Zoom link.

SUMMARY:Lock Through Classes
DESCRIPTION:Friends of the Riverfront and Three Rivers Outdoor Company are teaming up to provide 3 opportunities this season for lock through classes for paddlers in Allegheny County thanks to the 2024 Pennsylvania River Sojourn Mini Grant! This will allow paddlers an opportunity to learn more about navigating longer distances by water through accessing lock-through points with confidence! Locks and dams can be intimidating\, and even experienced paddlers may not feel confident or knowledgeable about how to pass through these barriers. These classes will help to support paddlers in confidently passing through locks and dams through practice and with the support of a group\, in navigating river infrastructure. Our hope is that paddlers will feel more confident in planning or even leading longer sojourns with confidence from taking this class. This is also a great opportunity to learn more about Friends of the Riverfront’s Three Rivers Heritage Trail stewardship clean up opportunities\, launch points\, seasonal free river-based educational programming and paddling opportunities\, and socialize with fellow paddlers. Register at friendsoftheriverfront.org/events (**will be posted closer to the event and will direct to a registration with 3ROC.)
