The Schuylkill Action Network works with farmers to lessen the impact of agricultural runoff (fertilizer, cow manure) on the creeks and streams in the Schuylkill watershed. Approximately 37% of the land in the Schuylkill watershed is used for agriculture, so farm management is an important tool in improving water quality. Lights, camera… Schuylkill action!
