MRWA

The McIntosh Run Watershed Association (MRWA) began in 1994 as a voice for the McIntosh Run, its tributary waters and the land within its watershed. The goals of MRWA are to further conservation and community stewardship of and to facilitate sustainable public access to the McIntosh Run watershed. Over the past 20+ years the association has undertaken long-term stewardship projects within the watershed. Partnering with local elementary and high schools as well as local universities the MRWA engages youth in hands on ecological stewardship. Ongoing projects include “Fish Friends” a program with the local elementary school to raise and release Brook Trout into the McIntosh Run. The MRWA partners with J.L. Isley High School for an annual River Cleanup in June. We have also partnered with university students to survey ecological communities within the watershed and restore and rehabilitate habitat along the river system.
