Article posted by Taylor Nezat, Campaign Manager for Watershed Advocacy, PennFuture Published on October 10, 2018

Pennsylvania's state government launched a pilot program to help counties develop strategies for water restoration. For Lancaster County, this plan identifies six priority areas and goals like installing stream buffers, restoring wetlands, improving farmland practices, and reducing nutrient runoff into local waterways.

PennFuture notes that developing the county plan involved local officials and stakeholders and emphasises a grassroots approach. As the plan advances, public meetings and outreach will continue, and PennFuture encourages citizens to participate in shaping the county's roadmap to clean water.
