Throughout the summer of 2017, Lehigh Gap Nature Center (LGNC) partnered with Wildlands Conservancy and Northeast PA Kayak School to provide hands-on watershed education experiences for youth and families on the Lehigh River Watershed. The highlights of this initiative were a five-day River Camp attended by 20 youth, plus three Lehigh Gap Bike and Boat adventures for families. All programs sought to foster an appreciation for the Lehigh River – and the rich natural and cultural history it supports – through engaging land and water-based explorations. As part of this initiative, LGNC also enhanced its trailside watershed engagement display to better inform trail users on the watershed.
