Through a wide variety of activities and
projects, LWA works to promote
conservation and environmental
protection throughout the entire
Loyalhanna Creek Watershed. In
addition, LWA constantly looks
to engage community members in
all of these projects. Roadside
and trail cleanups, nature trail
revitalization and recycling
are just a few projects
coordinated by LWA. |
Roadside & Dumpsite Cleanups
 In
the spring, LWA coordinates the clean-up
efforts of roadsides and dumpsites
throughout local communities. Each
year, over 70 miles of roadways are
cleared of debris by volunteers from
local businesses, clubs,
organizations and individual
community members interested in
preserving the beauty of the area.
Events include the "Latrobe Corridor
Cleanup" and "Great Ligonier Valley
Cleanup". |
River Sweep
 LWA
coordinates the annual River Sweep
of the Loyalhanna Gorge each June
with help from the Pennsylvania
Department of Environmental
Protection. Route 30 East/West along
with the Sleepy Hollow Causeway area
are cleaned of roadside litter,
tires, car parts and other trash by
area volunteers. |
"Currents" Newsletter
Each quarter, LWA publishes an
informational newsletter with
project updates, educational
articles and information about
important environmental topics. The
newsletters are mailed out to all
LWA members, and are available in
the LWA office.
