History of the Conestoga River: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Is the Conestoga really in such bad shape? How’d it get that way? What’s been done and being done to help restore the Conestoga? Ben Webber plans to explain the historic changes to this Mystic River and how our community’s development made such a Sudden Impact to the viability of our waterways.

This event is part of Lancaster Water Week.

Now in its 6th year, Lancaster Water Week celebrates the 1,400 miles of streams and rivers in Lancaster County, PA. These cricks and creeks are the source of our drinking water, drive economic and agricultural growth, and allow us to escape into nature to fish, paddle, and swim. Many of these beautiful streams are polluted, but there is an incredible effort underway to bring them back to health in our lifetime.

Join us during Water Week for over 20 events as we paddle, stomp, explore, volunteer, and take action as a community to protect our streams and rivers for the future!
