Story Map of the Conodoguinet Creek Conodoguinet Creek Watershed Association (CCWA) proud to celebrate 30 years of taking appropriate action on matters that affect the welfare of the Conodoguinet Creek Watershed.
To commemorate this anniversary, CCWA is, in partnership with the Center for Land Use and Sustainability Center for Land Use and Sustainability at Shippensburg University, launching a new interactive map and video project called, “A Long Way with Many Bends.” is a visual story of PA's Conodoguinet Creek and Watershed, the Conodoguinet Creek Water Trail, and the Conodoguinet Creek Watershed Association.
The story includes educational materials about the region’s waters, geology, and agriculture, and it highlights stunning images taken from the air and interviews with people working on the ground led by Dr. Scott Drzyzga, GIScience Director for the CLUS. “A Long Way with Many Bends” is the cumulative result of 30 years of CCWA-inspired partnerships and high-quality student-faculty educational experiences at Shippensburg University.
"The project illustrates how community and volunteerism connect education and conservation principles to enhance the health of the Conodoguinet Creek Watershed. Everything that happens on the land around you has an impact on the Conodoguinet Creek, Susquehanna River, Chesapeake Bay and ultimately the global oceans. Wherever you live, you live in a watershed," explained Lisa Beatty, president of CCWA.
The project was made possible by support and grant funding from the PA Environmental Council that manages challenges facing Pennsylvania’s water, land, and air resources whether from past activities, current practices, or potential future impacts.
