Healthy Watersheds

Sinnemahoning Watershed Association 

Trees and forests play a vital role in keeping our watersheds healthy. Their roots help hold soil in place, reducing erosion and preventing sediment from washing into streams. Forests also act like natural filters, slowing down rainwater so it can soak into the ground, improving water quality and reducing flooding. By protecting and restoring forested areas, we help ensure cleaner water, healthier wildlife habitats, and more resilient communities downstream. 🌳💧
