Watershed protection

"Boundaries don't protect rivers, people do." --Aristotle
On July 30, 2022, the CCCD assisted the watershed organizations in Columbia County with hosting the First Annual Susquehanna Valley Watershed Festival at CARA Park in Catawissa.  Below is a wonderful feature article and video written and created by POWR and PEC to highlight the event!
