A watershed is a land area in which water drains
into a body of water like a lake, river or stream. A
watershed consists of both the water body & the
land which drains into that body of water. This
drainage basin collects all of the precipitation as it
either runs off the land or percolates through the
soil before reentering the stream.

| THE LONG CENTER FOR ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP AND EDUCATION The watershed association has reached agreement with a local corporation to accept a no longer used greenhouse to erect on our property. This greenhouse will be operated by the people of the Self -Advocates of Northumberland County. These individuals intend to use the greenhouse to start seedlings for planting at their community garden located alongside the library in Sunbury. They also plan to start shrubs and trees to be used to create riparian buffers along Little Shamokin and other local creeks. August 2012 we constructed several stream bank stabilization structures on the Little Shamokin Creek frontage on our property View Project Photos UPCOMMING EVENTS Feb. 26: Monthly meeting March 26: Water Quality Sampling March 26: Monthly meeting April 5: Trout Stocking April 12: Trout Season Opens April 17: Trout stocking for youth derby April 19: Youth Trout Derby |
