Help Your Watershed!
#1
Use water wisely. Wasting it
at the faucet drains our
natural water supply.
#2
Dispose of household
waste properly. Batteries
and toxic chemicals create
an environmental hazard
whey they go into the
landfill with the other
household waste. Contact
your local waste
management authorities for
proper handling of these
materials.
#3
Plant native plants along
stream banks to help
prevent erosion and
invasion by harmful
non-native species.
#4
Avoid cutting trees or
shrubs away from the
stream bank, the root
structures help to keep soil
in place and the trees
provide shade to help keep
the water cool.
#5
Keep your car properly
maintained. Cars leak
brake fluid, oil, and
antifreeze when they're not
properly cared for, and that
leakage eventually washes
into streams. Also, let your
car get a little dirty from
time to time. Car-wash soap
becomes a pollutant when it
washes into a stream.
#6
Limit the amount of salt you
put on your walks during
the winter months. Salt
doesn't disappear; it is held
in the soil and water and
affects aquatic life.
#7
Remember that some
weeds and insects can
actually be beneficial.
Spraying large amounts of
chemicals and overusing
fertilizer can be more
harmful than helpful in the
long run.
#8
Choose gravel or wood
chips for your landscaping.
Gravel allows water to seep
into the ground where it is
cooled and cleaned
through natural processes.
#9
Pick up trash along the
stream bank. Chemicals
found in the waste could
leach into the water. Cans
and bottles can be recycled
for cash, and removing litter
instills community pride.
#10
Get involved! You can help
protect watersheds in your
own area. And by giving to
Western Pennsylvania
Conservancy, you can
support watershed
conservation across the
entire region.
