Connoquenessing Creek has been nominated for Pennsylvania’s River of the
Year! It was 1 of 5 nominations picked out of hundreds of submissions.
Over time this local waterway had been neglected and abused, leading to
its rating as the 2nd most polluted waterway in America in 2000. Since
then through Allegheny Aquatic Alliance and other organizations’
efforts, significant positive changes have been made to this creek and
have resulted in the restoration of it. Now we have the opportunity to
show our appreciation to this precious waterway by making it the River
of the Year! We each have the ability to do this by simply voting for
the Connie! The voting period is now until 12/22. It is such a simple
yet powerful way to show your support for this vital local waterway.
Help us spread the word and bring the positive attention to the
Connoquenessing Creek that it deserves!------------------------------------------
