Branden Diehl, the Program Assistant for the program recently told area environmental leaders that there are now funds available for local watershed groups, "The message today is that (we) are moving into the Susquehanna Region, working with groups on the West Branch of the Susquehanna as well with groups as the main stem of the Susquehanna."
"We can provide them with restoration dollars…and help them coordinate their efforts, and bringing them not only financial resources, but manpower resources, technical resources and any other resources that we provide to help them achieve their mission of watershed restoration," he said.
He said people should be happy about the new partnerships that are being developed between Central Pennsylvania watershed groups and the western Pennsylvania programs.
He called it an economic development program because it improves recreation opportunities and helps in revitalization efforts.
