Watersheds

There is a watershed organization in every major watershed in Westmoreland County. Some of these organizations have been in existance for 30 years while others are just getting their feet wet, but they all need members that care about conservation and are willing to spend at least a small part of their time on making improvements to the natural environment.

Our hope is that the public will become more aware of what is going on in the watersheds in which they live...feel a sense of ownership and pride for their natural resources...and become involved in watershed projects to enhance, conserve and preserve those resources.

The following graphic shows some of the watersheds in Westmoreland County. Additional ones include: Jacobs Creek, Mountain, Pucketa-Chartiers, Kiski-Conemaugh, and Mountain.
