If you, or someone you know, are interested in an internship working with the Conservation District, check out our internship page.  Three opportunities exist where a college student can earn college credit, learn about conservation, and help a local agency.

Are you organizing or know of a litter clean-up this spring?   If so, the Berks County Conservation District encourages all Berks County clean-ups to register with “The Schuylkill Scrub.” The Schuylkill Scrub is an event that takes place over several weeks every spring.  This effort was created by many partners with the common goal  to clean many miles of road, stream and parkland each year. This event encourages and supports clean-up events throughout the entire Schuylkill Watershed from Philadelphia to the headwaters in Schuylkill County. To register for the 2013 Schuylkill Scrub or to find a clean up near you, please visit www.schuylkillscrub.org

Do you need a design for a piece of bare land?  Have a restless green thumb, but don’t know what to do with it?  Need to know where to plant all those seedlings you plan on buying at this year’s Berks County Conservation District Seedling Sale?  Urban Conservationist Ann Sellers has drawn two landscapes that you can use as a model for your front or backyard.
