At the Chautauqua-Conewango Consortium (CCC), one of our core commitments is to serve as a voice for the water. To that end, we’re keeping in touch with you and others like you who care about clean water in our Western New York and Northwestern Pennsylvania area.
The Consortium is an Affiliate of the international organization, Waterkeeper Alliance. The waters we are keeping an eye on and speaking for encompass the entire Conewango Creek watershed. Together with our members, we can be a formidable force in this region, promoting drinkable, fishable and swimmable waters for all.
The CCC’s work also focuses on media communications based on sound science. Here are a couple of things we’re working on now:
- Harmful Algal Blooms (HABS) were reported in our watershed this past summer. Learn more about HABS on our website.
- While we acknowledge that herbicides are sometimes necessary if new invasive plants are detected, we believe that water management techniques must be based in sound science and must not endanger the ecology of the watershed. Learn more in our Submersed Aquatic Vegetation Herbicide Position Statement
We rely solely on membership support to fund all our important work. So we very much hope that you will choose to become a member of the CCC, helping to preserve and protect the waters of the Chautauqua-Conewango watershed. For those who have already joined, thank you.
The Consortium is a committee of the Conewango Creek Watershed Association. Its 501c3 status makes your donation 100% tax-deductible.
When you become a member, you will join hundreds of residents in western New York and Pennsylvania (as well as vacation homeowners from all over the country) who support the CCC’s stewardship of the Conewango watershed’s waters.
