The State of the Watershed Address will follow closely on the heels of Watershed Day, an annual event involving every fifth-grader in the Warwick region. Now in its 14th year, Watershed Day has educated between 4,900 and 5,400 children in a wide variety of watershed issues, from stream chemistry to sewage treatment to soil science to “bugs” (aka macroinvertebrates) and beyond. With so many Watershed Day alumni now grown up, the LRWA is adding a new dimension to its efforts: adults. The Lititz Run State of the Watershed Address represents the beginning of this effort. There are many simple steps that citizens of Lititz and the region surrounding can take to better steward their watershed, the Conestoga River, the Susquehanna River, and ultimately the Chesapeake Bay.
