The Conservancys newsletter, the Linn
Log, comes out in the spring, fall, and winter each year
and keeps members and friends up-to-date on issues and events. The
most current and archived Linn Logs give a sense
of the Merrill W. Linn Land & Waterways Conservancy and its
goals.
"The John G. Clark Environmental Award" and the newer,
" Environmental Adventure Award," are available to teachers
and students in the Milton, Lewisburg, and Mifflinburg schools.
Private school students and home scholars in these districts are
also eligible for the John G. Clark Environmental Award. See the
linked award description, guidelines,
and application forms.
The Buffalo Creek Watershed Alliance, a Linn Conservancy initiative, was founded under a Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) start-up grant. Since its formation in 2002, BCWA has received grants that have underwritten comprehensive outreach programs, a study of the hydro-morphology of Buffalo Creek, the creation of a 20-minute video You Are What You Drink; Reasons to Know and Protect the Buffalo Creek Watershed, and an assessment of the physical, biological, and chemical health of the waterway and its tributaries. The organization is currently conducting a continuing water monitoring program and is designing an installation to reduce the acid levels in the headwaters of Buffalo Creek. For information about the BCWA, go to www.buffalocreek.org.
