Catfish Run Planting October 2017
Volunteers from PCWA, Allegheny County Conservation District, Student Conservation Association, CPower, Allegheny County Parks, Allegheny Watershed Alliance and Bethel Park planted over 400 trees and shrubs along Catfish Run in South Park County Park. Volunteers are needed to help maintain the plantings in the future. Let us know if you can help at pcwa@peterscreek.org.

The plan provides suggestions for improving habitat for wildlife species; especially those of special concern in Pennsylvania. Volunteers are needed to help implement this plan.

Reforestation Project along Sleepy Hollow Run
We were awarded a Growing Greener Grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection to work with Allegheny County Parks to restore a forested buffer along Sleepy Hollow Run in South Park County Park. Adequate forested buffers along streams are essential if we are to maintain good water quality. We will be installing this buffer in the fall of 2016. If you want to help contact us at pcwa@peterscreek.org
