Our trained watershed staff provides technical assistance for water quality and riparian area monitoring, macroinvertebrate sampling, habitat evaluations and monitoring protocol development, among other areas of specialty. Our staff is also available to serve on project steering and technical committees, and advisory boards at the local, state or federal level.
How We Can Help with Nutrient Management Planning
Our watershed staff are certified to develop nutrient management plans through the Pennsylvania State Conservation Commission. In addition, the program offers on-site consultation for the implementation of related best management practices, such as streambank fencing, stabilized stream crossings, roof runoff management, waste storage and general barnyard management.
Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP)
The Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) provides eligible area farmers with financial and technical assistance to help them address conservation issues through the voluntary establishment of wetlands, hardwood trees and riparian buffer practices. Interested landowners can contact their local farm service agency for enrollment.
