The Allegheny Aquatic Alliance needs your help!
The Connoquenessing Creek was just nominated for Pennsylvania’s River of the Year! It is one of five nominations picked out of hundreds of submissions.
Over time this local waterway had been neglected and abused leading to its rating as the 2nd most polluted waterway in America in 2000. Since then through Allegheny Aquatic Alliance and other organizations’ efforts, significant positive changes have been made to this creek and have resulted in the restoration of it. The alliance held its eighth annual creek clean up day earlier this year in August.

Now there is an opportunity to show appreciation for this precious waterway by making it the River of the Year.
Everyone has the ability to do this by just voting for the ‘Connie’.
The voting period is from December 9, 2019, through January 17, 2020, giving all voters over one month to spread the word and obtain the most votes. It is such a simple yet powerful way to show your support for this vital local waterway.
“Together we can reverse the negative stigma that has haunted Connoquenessing Creek,” says Tracey Hughes, Allegheny Aquatic Alliance Secretary. “It deserves to be recognized as our hidden gem in Western Pennsylvania now.”
