Greening the Lower Susquehanna

Students: Devin Zehang, Danielle Byers, Joe Olonovich, Hunter Whiney, Parth Patel preparing ground for new trees.

Pequea Valley High School educator Josiah Moon and students planted 300 trees along the Conestoga River to improve a 100-year flood plain. The effort was part of an initiative called Greening the Lower Susquehanna, funded by a National Fish and Wildlife Foundation grant and led by Penn State’s Agriculture and Environment Center.
