Sinnemahoning Watershed Association - Looking for Program Input
Sinnemahoning Watershed Association
We're planning future water and watershed education programs and would love your input! 💧🌿
What kinds of resources or presentations would you or your family be interested in?
Topics could be for adults, kids, or youth of any age—hands-on activities, talks, workshops, or classroom-style programs.
We're especially excited to partner with Penn State Extension's Master Watershed Steward program and the Master Well Owner Network to be able to offer learning opportunities on watersheds, private water systems (wells and springs), and groundwater.
Learning opportunities for homeschooled children or homeschool groups can also be arranged.
If that’s something you’re interested in, please contact us directly
!
Let us know what you'd like to learn more about in the comments or reach out to u via email—your ideas will help shape upcoming programs in our community!

Cameron County Christmas Gift Program Update
Cameron County Christmas Gift Program
We want to put out one final exhaustive (we hope!) thank you to those who contributed to our program this past Christmas....
We want to thank every business, organization, church, and individual in (or from) Cameron County who helped to make this year’s Cameron County Christmas Gift Program such a success! Last year, 2024, was an extremely challenging year with record setting enrollment and limited funding, so coming into 2025, we knew we needed to make some big changes. We set out a goal to raise $10,000. We not only succeeded but far surpassed that goal with just shy of $15,000 raised! This allowed us to not only finish buying gifts for all “angel tree tags” that were left on the trees at the end of November, but to also ensure all children within a family had a similar and sufficient amount of gifts. This year we were able to serve 184 children within our community from 83 local families, and by the look of it, I think we were able to fulfill their wishlists more than ever. Of course, we hope that 2026 fundraising is just as successful so we can continue this program as long as possible, especially with growing need in our community.
We would like to specifically mention those who have contributed financially to the program. This list may not be exhaustive, so please if I missed someone, do not hesitate to reach out. Also of course we cannot name all who purchase gifts from the wishlists, but we appreciate you more than you will ever know. The kids were so blessed this year! We give a massive thank you to the American Legion, VFW & VFW Auxiliary, Wabtec, Fox’s Pizza, JSH, Rick Olivett, Caldwell Corporation, Straub Insurance, Judd Schager, Emporium Rotary Club, Bill Moscato, the Driftwood Freemasons, Emporium Food Mart, Bunny McLean, Don Perry, Emporium Country Club, Mountain Laurel FCU, Ken Gerg, Leo Smith, Nam Knights, Christabelle Club, Knights of Columbus, Judy Erskine, the Dolans, The Spot, the Streichs, Edward Roberts, ABATE, Michael Hart, Anonymous Donor, Deb Dunkle, Nancy Zoschg, the Summersons, and Laura Greene.
We want to give a special shoutout to all the locations throughout town who displayed our wishlist tags and collected gifts: Emporium Food Mart, Northwest Savings Bank, C&N Bank, Mountain Laurel FCU, the Chamber of Commerce, Emporium Post Office, Cameron County Courthouse, Emporium CMA, St. Mark’s, and Wabtec.
We also had many great volunteers who helped to gather and sort gifts, shop, and distribute the gifts.
We cannot thank them enough!
We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and we look forward to what this year has to offer for our community and this program!
Additional forestland added to Elk State Forest in Cameron County
The PA Wilds
Exciting news for hikers, hunters, and anglers — there's now additional forestland in Cameron County to explore and recreate on, thanks to the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy’s permanent protection of 183 acres!
Located in Grove Township, the property is adjacent to Sinnemahoning State Park in the heart of the Pennsylvania Wilds.
Because of its proximity to other protected lands, the property will help mitigate the impacts of climate change by providing more connected forested lands for migrating species and for plant and animal species moving to more favorable habitats.
