Event Details

Mighty Susquehanna: The Keystone to Saving the Bay
Open to all rising 9th-12th graders in DC, MD, VA, PA.

Join fellow high school students from across Pennsylvania to connect, learn, and find inspiration as we explore environmental issues impacting the Susquehanna River Watershed! The Susquehanna River is the largest freshwater tributary of the Chesapeake Bay and the health of this waterway has a tremendous impact on the health of the Bay. We will travel to unique places and have real-world experiences, all while exploring the rivers, streams, and woodlands of central Pennsylvania. This one-of-a-kind expedition will equip students to become the next generation of environmental leaders, developing skills in advancing advocacy, raising awareness, and taking action to address problems in their communities. Students will acquire new skills, a deeper knowledge, and an appreciation for Saving the Bay and its tributaries.
