Fwd: JOIN THE SAW MILL RUN TASK FORCE TRAINING!
Carrick Community Council
Saw Mill Run Task Force Workshops
Beginning on Tuesday, May 20th, Watersheds of South Pittsburgh will host the Saw Mill Run Task Force Training Workshops throughout May and June!
The first 4 sessions will be on Tuesdays from 5:30 - 7:30pm, with a light meal provided, these 4 sessions will be in Beechview. The Beechview Healthy Active Living Community Center will host the first 2 sessions, with the location of the following sessions yet to be determined. Two Saturday field trips to locations within the watershed will be held on June 7th and 14th, with June 7th a combined site visit and Cleanup in Ansonia Place. The final workshop will be an overall review and wrap-up of the process.
Our Kick - off workshop, held on May 20, 2025, will be focused on Saw Mill Run as a Watershed and Community. We will discuss what a watershed is and the unique aspects of the Saw Mill Run Watershed and the impact of over 100 years of development has had on the stream and its neighborhoods. Content on the final sessions will be provided at the kick off.
We are particularly interested in having residents from our neighborhood join us in this opportunity. We understand how difficult this might be for some of our residents; therefore, those participants who complete at least 5 sessions will receive a stipend of $350 at the end of the workshop series. In addition, for those who are interested , we will also provide tuition to the Penn State Watershed Steward Training Program.
This program is made possible through our partnership with River Network and with generous funding from the American Water Charitable Foundation.
