Watershed Initiatives
PEC does extensive work assessing, monitoring, and protecting the Piedmont's watersheds.
Named in memory of former PEC Board Vice Chairman Julian Scheer, of Catlett.
In 2004, PEC initiated a highly successful program in Purcellville, Virginia that fosters watershed stewardship by empowering students to improve local water quality and wetland habitats.
PEC and partner organizations are teaming up to plant trees to help protect water quality. This project will also help citizens understand the vital role that trees & shrubs play as natural tools for improving water quality in Leesburg & the Bay.
A major drinking water source for northern Virginia, significantly protected through conservation easements.
