The Schuylkill Action Network is holding its annual workshop Dec. 7 to set new priorities and highlight past successes in improving the river's watershed.
Highlights of the workshop will include speeches by Jon Capacasa, director of the Water Protection Division at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region III, and Tom Davidock, Schuylkill watershed coordinator at the Partnership for the Delaware Estuary.
The workshop will be held from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Reading Area Community College's Schmidt Training and Technology Center, 10 South Second Street, Reading, PA 19603.
Tours of a LEED-certified office building owned by the Berks Community Foundation will be given starting at 9 a.m.
The purpose of the workshop is to engage the network's members and organizations in cooperative efforts to clean up the water in the Schuylkill River watershed.
Since it was created in 2003, the Schuylkill Action Network has helped to reduce water pollution stemming from abandoned mines, agriculture, polluted runoff, and other human causes by implementing on-the-ground improvements and educational programs.
