A watershed is a land area in which water drains
into a body of water like a lake, river or stream. A
watershed consists of both the water body & the
land which drains into that body of water. This
drainage basin collects all of the precipitation as it
either runs off the land or percolates through the
soil before reentering the stream.

Environmental Education Site
Activities to develop an environmental
education site are progressing.
The 27 acre site at 182 Houser Rd., Rockefeller
Twp, North'd County, PA includes approximately
one half mile of Little Shamokin Creek with
ownership of both sides of the creek.
Volunteers have been clearing buildings, and
removing invasive vegetation. The group has
received a habitat management plan from the PA
Game Commission. We are also in contact
with private environmental foundations seeking
grants to stabilize the creek banks. In addition
we are in contact with other organizations for aid
in developing a public environmental site
