What We Do
“Working together for a clean and healthy Little Lehigh Watershed”
Our Mission
The Little Lehigh Watershed Stewards are volunteers who act to protect, preserve, and restore the ecosystem and wildlife of the Little Lehigh Creek watershed, through projects, advocacy, public education, and engagement.
LLWS, Inc. is part of the Watershed Coalition of the Lehigh Valley (WCLV), a coalition of 9 Watershed Organizations across the Lehigh River Drainage Basin in eastern PA. We coordinate our activities with other local watershed organizations, with the cities and townships, and with other volunteer organizations to accomplish our mission.
"The vast possibilities of our great future will become realities only if we make ourselves responsible for that future."
— Gifford Pinchot, American Forester & former Governor of Pennsylvania
