The Governor’s Awards for Environmental Excellence is open to any PA business, farm, govt. agency, educational institution, non-profit, and individual that has participated in the development of a project that promotes environmental stewardship and economic development in PA.

One of the winners for 2022 is Nurture Nature Center for Watershed-Friendly Properties. Nurture Nature

Nurture Nature Center and the Penn State Extension Master Watershed Steward program developed a Watershed Friendly Properties education and certification program to expand the number of watershed-friendly properties throughout PA.

The goal is educating residents, communities, educational institutions, and businesses about the value of a healthy watershed and best practices for improving water quality. Over 600 Pennsylvania residents were reached through the project’s outreach and presentations.

To date, there have been a total of 300 applications with 270 passing (a 90 percent pass rate) and 250 “Watershed Friendly Property” signs have been mailed throughout the state representing 49 total counties (almost three-fourths of the state represented).

These are properties that are contributing to the health of PA’s watersheds through practices such as rain gardens and other stormwater management strategies, cultivation of native vegetation, elimination of pollution sources, conservation of water (rain barrels), and more.
