Year End Top Five Picks hanks
to all of the watershed groups and statewide organizations
who have worked with Watersheds.tv this past year to make
it such a success! If you’re already a “Watershed
Watcher” I’d like to thank you for your support.
I you haven’t yet become a ‘Watcher’ –
please do so today. It’s easy, just click here.
atersheds.tv
has become a huge success in the past two and a half years.
We not only reach out to folks interested in Pennsylvania’s
watersheds and water related issues, but we’re reaching
out across the nation to expand our watershed family as well.
In the past months, 17,000 viewers have checked out the website
on a monthly basis! That tells me that a lot of people are
interested in learning more about what watersheds and water
quality means to their daily lives.
hanks
again to all who have worked so hard to make ‘watershed’
a household word. The following five features are the ones
you’ve picked, as Watershed Watchers, as the top five
stories of 2002. They’re not rated in any order, just
the top favorite stories. Enjoy!
Happy Holidays, we’ll be back in January with all new
stories and accomplishments.
Thanks,
Kelly
