PennEnvironment is a statewide, citizen-based environmental advocacy organization. We believe there's something special about Pennsylvania — something worth protecting and preserving for future generations. Whether it's a beloved river or stream like the Susquehanna or the Wissahickon, our rolling family farmland, or one of our 120 state parks, Pennsylvania's natural wonders enrich our lives in countless ways. Yet the places we love and the environmental values so many of us share are too often threatened by powerful industries, short-sighted politicians and more. Defending our environment requires independent research, tough-minded advocacy and spirited grassroots action.
