Lackawanna River Corridor Association

The Lackawanna River Corridor Association (LRCA) was created by local citizens in 1987 to promote the restoration and conservation of the Lackawanna River and its watershed resources in the great Northeast Pennsylvania. The LRCA is a nonprofit, nonpolitical organization promoting our river through education, public involvement, consensus building, partnerships and hands on opportunities for young and old. Since 1987, the LRCA has worked pro-actively with other community groups and public agencies to plan and promote projects which are addressing the issues of water pollution, recreation, community development, land and water conservation, public involvement with their river and watershed, and the public policy decision making which affects the river and watershed. We depend on the support and informed involvement of our fellow citizens. Help us promote a revitalized Lackawanna River!

     “A Vision for the Lackawanna River”
The work we are accomplishing as a community through the Lackawanna River Corridor Association, the Lackawanna Heritage Valley Authority, The Rail Trail Council of Northeast Pennsylvania and many other local, state, and Federal agencies, businesses and individuals offer a vision for the future of the Lackawanna Valley.
     We see a revitalized river flowing with clean water, bounded by park lands, natural areas, attractive residential neighborhoods, industrial and commercial sites with good paying jobs, vibrant Main streets and Downtown areas.
We see this set in a valley with green ridge tops with protected natural areas and open space preserves meeting upland watershed lands well managed for forest stewardship and water supply resource needs.
     We see new well planned neighborhoods set into a restored landscape where culm dumps, strip mines and superfund sites are a thing of the past.
     We see new smart growth industries offering rewarding employment to our younger citizens, producing products, which are environmentally sustainable for local use and export worldwide.
     We see our neighbors, our senior citizens, our children, working together to care for our communities natural resources, living, working and sharing a commitment to this place, our home, the Lackawanna River and its watershed.
     We see this today and with increasing interest, we see our shared vision becoming a more evident reality as the new century challenges us to realize the interconnectedness of our community within the global village.
