(JES @ Celebrate Erie) Celebrating Lake Erie: Working Together to Protect Our Greatest Asset
Join PennFuture's Erie Campaign Manager for Clean Water Advocacy, Jenny Tompkins, for a presentation celebrating our region's greatest asset: our water. Lake Erie provides a multitude of public health, recreational, economic, and cultural benefits to our local communities. However, with such an abundance of fresh water in our backyards, it can be easy to take these resources for granted. Working together to protect Lake Erie is the best way to celebrate its value. Jenny will share ways everyone can be involved in protecting Lake Erie.
