Be prepared for an active day! MWA will provide trash bags and heavy gloves to protect your hands. Please wear clothing you can get wet and don’t mind getting dirty. Bring snacks, sunscreen, water, and a waterproof bag, if you have one.
If you have your own boat, you’re welcome to use it. Take your boat to Cedar Creek Park, and then meet us at West Newton to check in.
After the cleanup, join MWA staff at Bloom Brew – all volunteers (age 21+) get a free drink for their help!

Rustic Ridge Community Town Hall
2025-05-15 18:30 - 20:00 | St Raymond of the Mountains, 170 School House Lane, Donegal, PA
The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection has issued the permit to allow LCT Energy to expand their underground coal mining operations by 1452 acres.
The mining area will expand under the Pennsylvania Turnpike and into the headwaters of the Fourmile Run watershed, which feeds Donegal Lake and Loyalhanna Creek, the treasured stream that runs between Ligonier and Latrobe.
Around 100 private water supplies are at risk. Our community has fought hard (and spent millions of dollars) to clean up Abandoned Mine Discharges in our waters, and we don’t want to do it again.
Learn more about the mine expansion, and what you can do to protect your property and safeguard clean water in the Laurel Highlands! Dinner and information hand-outs will be provided.

Air Quality Town Hall # 15 -Are Elected Officials Abandoning Us?
2025-05-14 19:00 - 21:00 | PA
Register Today!
We live in one of the worst 1% of places in the country for air pollution-related diseases, yet Allegheny County Council members have failed to pass their Health Department’s proposed fee increase, paid by polluters, for the permits that allow them to operate.
For the past eleven months, we have responded to the request of the Allegheny County Health Department to support their recommendation.
A headcount at Allegheny County Council has consistently come up short of the 10 votes necessary for passage.
Simultaneously, Pittsburgh Regional Transit is proposing fare increases and massive cutbacks in service, leaving 3 neighborhoods and 19 municipalities with no transportation at all.
All this is happening while Allegheny County is spending $1.7 billion for a new airport that we don’t need!
At the town hall, we will be inviting a team of experts who have joined us in advocating for the fee increase. That panel will raise questions about why our elected officials have abandoned those who they are sworn to serve.

ELIZABETH KOLBERT In conversation with Terry Tempest Williams
2025-05-12 19:30 - 20:30 | Carnegie Music Hall Oakland, 4400 Forbes Ave, Pittsburgh, PA, 15213
In twenty-six essays–one for each letter of the alphabet—Elizabeth Kolbert, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Sixth Extinction, takes us on a hauntingly illustrated journey through the history of climate change and the uncertainties of our future.
Climate change resists narrative-and yet some account of what’s happening is needed. Millions of lives are at stake, and upward of a million species. And there are decisions to be made, even though it’s unclear who, exactly, will make them.
In H Is for Hope, Elizabeth Kolbert investigates the landscape of climate change–from “A”, for Svante Arrhenius, who created the world’s first climate model in 1894, to “Z”, for the Colorado River Basin, ground zero for climate change in the United States.
