Conservancy to Hold Public Forums

The Western Pennsylvania Conservancy (WPC) will hold public forums this month for McKean and Potter County communities that surround the Allegheny River and its tributaries – Oswayo, Potato, and Tunungwant creeks – as well as neighboring communities. At these events, community residents will discuss the natural and community resources of the region and help to create a vision for the future of the region.

If you live or work in the area, own a business or land in the region, enjoy outdoor recreation, or are interested in natural resources, historic preservation, tourism, or community enhancement, please plan to attend one of these meetings.

Local support is critical to the success of this locally driven planning process. The public meetings will begin at 6:00 p.m. at the following locations:

• Tuesday, March 24, 2009 at the Coudersport Elementary School Large Group Instruction Room, 802 Vine Street
• Wednesday, March 25, 2009 at the Port Allegany Veterans Memorial Home (VFW/American Legion), 4347 Route 155
• Thursday, March 26, 2009 at the Bradford Public Library, 67 West Washington Street

This project is funded, in part, by the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), Bureau of Recreation and Conservation and the Foundation for Pennsylvania Watersheds. Local partners currently involved include: Upper Allegheny Watershed Association, Seneca Chapter of Trout Unlimited, McKean and Potter County Conservation Districts and Planning Departments, Penn State Cooperative Extension, DCNR Bureau of Forestry, and Pennsylvania Game Commission.
