White Paper

The Valley Forge Watershed Association is a nonprofit 501(c) (3) organization. The Association was formed in October 2002 by a group of concerned citizens that believe the beauty and enjoyment of the Schuylkill River will be best supported by unifying efforts of organizations that reside along the river and have a stakeholder interest in protecting her beauty and function. A focused results-driven approach, rather than fragmented efforts to get things done, is a founding principle and is one of the Association’s stated goals.

ECWA’s five public nature preserves are part of a network of preserves and trails for hiking, biking, and walking from the Ellerbe Creek headwaters to Falls Lake. The preserves are a place for adults and children to enjoy the outdoors and the wonders of nature.

Volunteers are responsible for the care and stewardship of our preserves. They manage invasive species, tend to native plants, build and maintain trails, and much more. Each year, we host over 20 groups in workdays led by our staff and volunteer Preserve Stewards.
