The mission of MJWA is to promote stewardship of, to protect and to enhance the watersheds of the Bangor Area which include: Slateford Creek, Jacoby Creek, Allegheny Creek, Oughoughton Creek, Little Martins Creek, Martins Creek, Waltz Creek, Greenwalk Creek, Mud Run, and the unnamed tributaries draining directly to the Delaware River between the Delaware Water Gap and Easton, PA.
Activities in support of the
MJWA’s goals have
three major components. Our water quality monitoring program establishes
sound baseline data from which we can monitor future changes in
water quality. Our environmental education programs aim
to increase understanding of the natural resources of the watershed
and the practices that promote compatible and sustainable
development. Our new environmental education center will promote stewardship of
the local environmental resources Protection of areas of ecological
and scenic value through municipal ordinances and open space programs,
which represents the
third aspect of our activities.
