Check out the great video produced by Shippensburg's Center for Land Use and Sustainability as part of "A Long Way With Many Bends"

Creek Clean Ups

Take place the 3rd Saturday of every month May thru September. RSVP's are required due to limited resources. Each year we collect an average of 2 Tons of trash from the creek! Cleanups are weather dependent and dependent on the water levels of the creek.

Riparian Tree Plantings

CCWA partners with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation's Keystone 10 Million Tree Partnership and local Municipalities like East Pennsboro and Silver Spring Township.

Butterfly Garden

CCWA partnered with Penn State Master Gardeners and East Pennsboro Township to create a native pollinator plot.

Educational Events

CCWA is active at several community events and has been developing some great local curriculum about the Conodoguinet Creek and its Watershed!

CCWA Partners with the Chesapeake Bay Program's Keystone 10 Million Trees Partnership and Silver Spring Township to plant a Riparian Buffer at the DiFilippo Nature Preserve.

These buffers are important in removing Nitrogen and Phosphorus that is trapped in runoff that flows into our waterways. Roots from trees and grasses will extract nutrients that are trapped in the soil and live roots help to hold soil in place preventing erosion from taking soil into the creek.

Thank YOU to all of our great volunteers that make these plantings possible!
