May 2007: Watershed Awareness Month
The Pennsylvania House of Representatives has declared May 2007 as Watershed Awareness Month! Of course, for anyone receiving this e-mail, every month is probably Watershed Awareness Month, so this is really for that other part of the population who doesn’t quite share in that passion.Neater still, this year’s theme is “Reclaiming Abandoned Mines to Reclaim Pennsylvania’s Waterways” in honor of the reauthorization and amendments to SMCRA Title IV, the federal legislation that will channel an estimated $1.4 billion to Pennsylvania to help reclaim abandoned coal mines.
We think the General Assembly’s resolution is well worth reading, and you just might want to keep it around for future grant applications. Really.
