Dear
Stewards of the Juniata
River,
As
we push into the last months of 2009, it is time for the Juniata Clean Water
Partnership to ask for your membership support for the 2010 calendar year.
JCWP relies on your membership to help support the vital work we are
doing to protect, enhance and restore the Juniata
River and its tributaries.
Many organizations, agencies and foundations are struggling in this economy to
follow through with commitments. JCWP
is not immune to the tough economy and grants are becoming increasingly
difficult to secure. Your membership
dollars not only provide us with much needed funds, but also dollars donated can
provide matching funds which bring even more money into the Juniata.
Many
of you have benefited from our work as direct partners in projects, recipients
of information or technical support, a participant in educational programs, or
as a paddler or hiker in one of our outreach events.
Some of the services we continue to make available to partners and
members in the watershed include:
- Environmental
education in the schools
- Informational
presentation and workshops to various groups and organizations
- Technical
assistance to many local conservation focused non-profits
- Assistance
planning and developing greenways and trails
- Work
with groups on innovative stormwater management structures
- Assessment
and management of invasive plants
- Support
recreational opportunities
One
of our more visible services is organizing the Annual River Sojourn on the Juniata
River. The 2010 Sojourn is tentatively
scheduled for the second week in June and will be an eight day paddle starting
in Huntingdon and proceeding down the main steam of the Juniata to
Newport. More information about the Juniata River Sojourn will be forthcoming in early
2010. One of the benefits of
membership is a daily discount on your sojourn registration.
For anyone considering attending this year, this discount alone is worth
the price of membership!
Please
join us as a member of Juniata Clean Water Partnership, and thank you!
Sincerely;
James
Eckenrode
James
