Mission

Mountain Watershed Association, Home of the Youghiogheny Riverkeeper, is dedicated to protecting, preserving and restoring the Indian Creek and greater Youghiogheny River watersheds. We have a unique approach in that we pursue on-the-ground restoration of past damage while also advocating on local, regional and national issues that have a local impact. We hold polluters and environmental regulators accountable in order to protect communities and the environment. We promote recreation to create a sense of stewardship to our outdoor world. The Mountain Watershed Association is a non-profit, 501 (c) (3) organization governed by a Volunteer Board of Directors.
