Roaring Creek Valley Conservation Assoc.

On December 12, 2007 the Roaring Creek Valley Conservation Association held their first Christmas Party at the stone house in the middle of the Weiser State Forest. A covered dish was served followed by a short meeting and election of officers.

The Roaring Creek Valley Conservation Association seeks to conserve the natural resources of the basin and its rich culture through watershed stewardship, education, and monitoring.

Dear friends of Roaring Creek Valley,

This is just the beginning of a Web Site that will expand as time goes by. Please stop back often to see the changes.

RCVCA has received $7,500 from the Growing Greener Grant. These funds will be used to help us in our start-up with things like a newsletter, fileing the paperwork for our non-profit status and liability insurance just to name a few

On April 22, 2006 RCVCA had its first organized event. 18 volunteers showed up on a rainy day to do a cleanup at the watershed. This event is part of the Great PA Cleanup. For more info go to www.greatpacleanup.org

We want to thank The Union National Bank for their contribution to our cleanup project

We want to thank First Columbia Bank and Trust for their
contribution to our cleanup project

Please consider becoming a member of the Association so that your vote will count. When big decisions are to be made, two officers PLUS the majority of the membership (i.e. paying members) present at a given meeting will decide the vote. Click here for a membership form which can be printed and mailed to the Conservation District with your dues. Annual dues are only $20 (just $1.67 per month for a great cause! ) or become a lifetime member for $150. If you own a business, please support this community-based initiative with a sponsorship of $250. Perks of membership include voting rights, a copy of the annual newsletter, and knowing that you are helping to conserve the beautiful land and water - that you've grown to cherish - for this and future generations. For businesses, the Association will recognize your contribution through the web site that will be established by including a link to your business's web site if applicable. Membership/sponsorship dues will go towards things like postage, printing, insurance, and, down the road, even matching funds for grants.

If you would like to be on our email list so you can keep up on all of our activities and meeting just send an email to bob@rcvca.org and we will add you to the list.

We look forward to seeing you at the upcoming meetings!!
