'Soaring Down the Allegheny'
On Saturday, June 12, 2010 and Sunday, June 13, 2010 Western Pennsylvania Conservancy will be hosting a return trip to the Allegheny River for their annual sojourn. Participants will travel the wild and scenic river by canoe from Warren, PA to Indian Waters Livery located a few miles north of Tidioute, PA. The trip will include activities and presentations that are centered on the theme "Soaring down the Allegheny."
The upper Allegheny River is home to a variety of unique and interesting birds. Since the 1970s, bald eagles have been making a strong comeback in this region, and great blue herons are on the rise. Come learn more about the birds that depend on the Allegheny River for their survival.
In 1984, Congress recognized the importance of preserving some of the river¹s unique features by designating seven of the islands in the Allegheny River as National Forest Islands, part of the National Wilderness Preservation System. Come join us as we explore these islands along our float down the wild and scenic Allegheny River.
Sponsors for the sojourn include Pennsylvania Organization for Watersheds and Rivers (POWR), Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), Indian Waters Canoe and Kayak Rental, and Western Pennsylvania Conservancy.
To register for the sojourn or for more information, go to www.waterlandlife.org or contact Kelly Horrell at (724) 459-0953 ext.113. The registration deadline is Friday, May 28, 2010.
