LRCA's mission is to involve citizens of our watershed with conservation and stewardship of the River, its tributaries and water resources.

Five goals define our mission:  1)  Clean up the River environment;  2)  Aid in the development of the 40-mile Lackawanna River Heritage Trail;  3)  Advocate for the conservation of open space and natural habitat throughout the watershed;  4)  Create partnerships among government, businesses and community groups promoting conservation and recreation;  5)  Develop partnerships with schools, universities, and the general public to promote environmental and conservation education to better understand our relationship with the local environment.
