2020 Headwaters Award

Each year, the Arbor Day Foundation honors top individuals and organizations involved in exemplary tree planting and environmental practices.
The Headwaters Award celebrates innovative programs - in rural or urban areas - that support the improvement of water quality and quantity through forestry activities.
A coalition of 22 soil and water conservation districts in New York and Pennsylvania, the Upper Susquehanna Coalition (USC) addresses water quality issues in the headwaters of the Chesapeake Bay. USC’s buffer team, which promotes the restoration and long-term functionality of the Upper Susquehanna’s riparian areas and riverbanks, planted more than 10,000 native trees in 2018 alone. The same year, USC engaged more than 100 student volunteers, ranging from elementary school to college, and educated more than 1,500 people on the importance of planting trees for water quality.
