We’re breaking out of our shell on July 1!
We are excited to be a part of the Murrysville Community Library Tails and Tales summer program. All ages are welcome for “Turtle Tales: The History and Recovery of Turtle Creek,” hosted by the Library at the Murrysville Community Center on July 1 beginning at 6 p.m.
Hands-on demonstrations of stormwater pollution problems, educational displays on abandoned mine drainage, the history of our local coal mining industry by Old Industry Of Southwestern Pennsylvania, and live turtle demonstrations by Wildlife Works Inc. Attendance will be limited, so please contact register in advance (click here for registration link).
TCWA’s Focus
Water quality, and often quantity, represent more than just an environmental issue. They have become economic burdens, health risks, and social problems that degrade our standard of living. Abandoned mine drainage (AMD), non-point source pollution, stormwater runoff, erosion, streambank stabilization, sedimentation, and invasive species are some of the biggest problems facing our watershed.
TCWA board meetings are held the last Tuesday of every month at 5:30 p.m at the Monroeville Borough Building (2700 Monroeville Blvd, Monroeville, PA 15146).
