Penns Valley Conservation Association PVCA

The Penns Valley Conservation Association (PVCA) is a non-profit charitable organization based in Aaronsburg, Pennsylvania. Established in 1994, PVCA is dedicated to protecting and conserving the environmental qualities of the Penns Creek Watershed. PVCA works to preserve the agricultural heritage of Penns Valley by safeguarding its waters, farmlands, forests, and rural character. Their efforts include advocating for the designation of Exceptional Value streams, such as portions of Pine and Elk Creeks, which recognize outstanding water quality. Additionally, PVCA partners with other organizations to conduct regular water monitoring and participates in watershed preservation projects. PVCA's mission is to serve as a steward for the natural and cultural communities in the Upper Penns Creek watershed. They aim to create a community where growth is balanced with the support of healthy natural systems that promote a thriving local economy. PVCA envisions a valley where residents can enjoy pristine waterways, dark night skies, healthy forests, prosperous farms, and local job opportunities.
