Thank You to Our Generous Supporters

Our Watershed Association wouldn’t exist without the generosity of the following groups. Thank you for your support!

In 2022, BSCWA was awarded a grant to help fund the startup of our Watershed Association, including the launching of this website.

Financial support for this project is provided by BHE GT&S which is dedicated to the economic, physical and social health of the communities served by BHE GT&S companies.

This grant program was administered by the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy in commitment to its core mission of conserving Pennsylvania’s diverse ecosystems through science-based strategy, leadership, and collaboration.

We would also like to recognize and thank the Allegheny Land Trust for spurring the creation of the Big Sewickley Creek Watershed and continuing to offer support for our ongoing goals.

“In 2021, [Allegheny Land Trust’s] Community Conservation team finished producing a Rivers Conservation and Stewardship Plan (RC&SP) for the Big Sewickley Creek Watershed (BSCW). The goal for the watershed was to create a better public understanding of: the watershed’s natural and cultural assets; the threats to water quality and property due to flooding, natural resource exploration, residential and commercial development, outdated municipal codes, infrastructure buildout, and other threats; of the conflicting interests in land use and potential resolutions to those conflicts; and the opportunities to maintain the watershed as a beautiful and healthy place to reside and recreate.

As a result, several passionate residents connected to form a watershed association.”
