The Little Conestoga Watershed Alliance
What is the LCWA?
The Little Conestoga Watershed Alliance (LCWA) is a non-profit Pennsylvania organization, founded in October 2000. We are a group of citizens, businesses, non-profit conservation organizations, academic institutions, and local, state and federal government representatives that have joined together and are committed to a common purpose:
A comprehensive approach to continual enhancement of water quality, stream restoration, and preservation of natural resources within the
Little Conestoga Creek Watershed.
Through grants and volunteers, the LCWA has become a reality. We have several sites around Lancaster in different stages of restoration and have proposals for many more. Our goals are to enhance the watershed for its citizens and environment. We will do this through education, volunteer action, and cooperation with local citizens, governments and corporations, in order to achieve a healthy watershed.
Objectives of LCWA:
Educating citizens regarding water quality and land stewardship
Educational seminars/stream studies
Involvement of municipal leaders
Restoration of streams
Assisting agricultural professionals with fencing and water management
Becoming incorporated
Establishing bylaws
Applying for grants
Use of native plants in restorations projects
