July Desktop Background
Long blighted by abandoned mine drainage, the West Branch Susquehanna River has seen considerable improvements thanks to significant efforts by WPC, local groups, and state and federal agencies. The river is known for its vast expanses of forestland surrounding it in the Pennsylvania Wilds. In a continued effort to protect the watershed, WPC protected a 466-acre property in Clinton County in 2014 and transferred it to the Commonwealth to become part of Sproul State Forest and the Bucktail State Park Natural Area. The property connected the natural area to the West Branch Susquehanna River, providing approximately a mile and a half of frontage along the river.
