Speaker Series:
Coffee and Clean Water
Wednesday, February 11th, 6-8pm
How does water impact your coffee?
Clean water benefits coffee at origin, but harms local communities during processing. Your spending choices can harm the environment through cafe consumption and waste.
Join us for an evening of learning, food & drinks!
Speaker Series Saving Soil & Water: One Stake at a Time
Wednesday, March 18th, 6-8pm
Did you know you can grow a tree from a single stick? A live stake is a stem cutting from a tree or shrub that can take root and grow when planted. These simple cuttings help restore degraded streams by stabilizing soil, improving habitat, and keeping pollutants out of the water.
We are the voice of the river. Our advocacy work includes education about the issues, monitoring polluters, and insisting on compliance with the law.
Have fun and support a good cause by participating in our signature events, whether on or off the river: the Dam Bridge Challenge, the Ripple Effect Soiree, or one of our partner events.
Join one of our volunteer programs! We organize the Great Plastics Purge, river cleanup days, bacteria monitoring, and more. Your participation helps support our mission for a swimmable, drinkable and fishable Susquehanna River.
What We Do
We monitor and patrol over 8500 square miles, throughout the lower Susquehanna watershed.
In May 2024, 700 middle and high school students experience the river on our field trip educational program.
Since 2009 LSRA and its volunteers have removed over 230 tons of plastic tires and trash from our waterways.
In 2023 our supporters took action on our advocacy alerts to send 3,460 email messages
In a typical year our riverkeepers and volunteers collected over 400 water samples from different areas of our territory to analyze for a wide range of pollutants.
Since 2017 LSRA has been a plaintiff in 9 legal cases and has secured over $2,000,000 in penalties from polluters.
