Building
Leaders: Creating Our Future
Funded
by LWVPA-CEF WREN Project
-
Ground
Water and Wellhead Protection Grants-
1995 & 1996
In Juniata and Fulton counties, the issue of groundwater
policy was the overarching teaching theme of the "Building Leaders:
Creating Our Future" program sponsored by Penn State Cooperative Extension.
A series of five meetings was held in McConnellsburg and Mifflintown
over a ten month period. The Leadership programs were based on the Master
Gardener format and trained citizens in groundwater science, federal,
state and local groundwater policies, opportunities for local action,
and strategies and techniques for local public policy development.
In Fulton County the program was co-sponsored by the Chamber
of Commerce and the Conservation District; in Juniata County the Conservation
District and the Mid-State Resource Conservation and Development Council
cooperated. As a follow-up, in Juniata County a Groundwater Council
will be established in 1997.
