Executive Director News
Schuylkill Keep It Pretty Clear
I’m excited to report I have been elected Chair of Schuylkill Keep It Pretty. For me the importance of community reaches far beyond the work here at VISION. I look forward to working with individuals, businesses, schools, and municipalities to clean up communities across Schuylkill County and bring back an education component that includes reduce, reuse, and recycle information and resources. As we work to update SKIP and its website, please visit SKIP’s Facebook page for all updates and email skiplitter@gmail.com for questions or more information.
State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan
PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources’ Secretary, Cindy Dunn, has invited me to sit on the State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan technical advisory committee.
The plan will help set funding and action priorities for outdoor recreation in Pennsylvania, as well as preserve PA’s eligibility for
federal Land and Water Conservation Funds. While DCNR is the lead tasked with this responsibility, the plan represents the outdoor recreation needs and goals of the entire Commonwealth. VISION has been asked to be a key partner in bringing important issues and constituents to this effort.
DCNR isn’t the only place VISION is providing a voice for Schuylkill County! VISION is also a key partner and work group member of the PA Department of Health’s State Health Improvement Plan. To read the current plan click the button below.
It is a great privilege to sit at the tables of many state, county, and local projects to provide our knowledge and expertise with the ultimate goal of being a voice for Schuylkill County.
