These cricks and creeks are the source of our drinking water, drive economic and agricultural growth, and allow us to escape into nature to fish, paddle, and swim. Many of these beautiful streams are polluted, but there is an incredible effort underway to bring them back to health in our lifetime.</p><p>Join us during Water Week for over 20 events as we paddle, stomp, explore, volunteer, and take action as a community to protect our streams and rivers for the future!</p><p>Learn more: <a href="https://www.lancasterconservancy.org/water-week/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.lancasterwaterweek.org</a></p><h2>Thank you to our incredible Lancaster Water Week Sponsors for their generous support!</h2>
