Lancaster Watershed Leadership Academy
2025 Cohort Starting Soon!
The Lancaster Watershed Leadership Academy is a bi-annual program that supports the personal leadership development of individuals involved in the collective effort for clean water in Lancaster County. The twelve-month program is jam-packed with watershed content, field investigations, professional leadership content, and an overnight retreat on the Chesapeake Bay.
Scholars are as unique and diverse as the communities in Lancaster County. They walk away with an understanding of watersheds, leadership skills and application, and countless resources to integrate themselves into clean water work.
