Water Resources Network is a project of the League of Women Voters of PA Citizen Education Fund. The Water Resources Education Network (WREN) is a project of the Citizen Education Fund of the League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania.
WREN works to help communities across Pennsylvania protect and improve our most precious natural resource, our water. The WREN Network is a nonpartisan informal collaboration of organizations and public officials working for the protection and stewardship of Pennsylvania’s water resources, both surface and ground water, through community education and informed policy-making. WREN believes the key to effective management and protection of water resources in Pennsylvania is local action. WREN facilitates communication and cooperation, and provides resources and training for local coalition building to promote community awareness and development of public policies necessary to protect Pennsylvania water resources. Since 1992, the WREN Project has awarded over $2 million in mini-grant funding to over 395 community partnerships working to safeguard clean water for future generations in Pennsylvania.

Beautiful Rain Barrels! Great Inspirations!
Coming this summer to the Borough's of Mount Pocono and Delaware Water Gap ...
The Monroe County Conservation District recently completed a community art project with an environmental message. Artists of all ages painted rain barrels, which will find permanent homes and be on display in Mount Pocono and Delaware Water Gap Boroughs. Rain barrels function to protect water quality by collecting roof runoff for future outdoor use.
Want a functional work of art of your own? These ones are not for sale, but you can order an unpainted rain barrel of your own from MCCD's annual rain barrel sale going on now through April 15th. Use it "as is" or create and paint your own design and you'll have an original garden work of art.
