Protecting Lancaster’s Land for Generations

WWatershed Forum Set at Millersville University
hat’s the value of dirt?
For the Lancaster County Conservation District, it’s priceless.
The organization formed in 1950 with a mission of empowering farmers to maintain and improve the rich, productive soil of Lancaster County through conservation practices. Today, as the group marks its 75th anniversary, it has expanded its focus to include four more departments beyond agriculture, touching the lives of everyone who calls the county home.
“Coming out of the time period of the Dust Bowl, in the late 1920s and ’30s, there was a national movement to create conservation
districts across the country,” said Sallie Gregory, Lancaster County Conservation District education and operations coordinator. What began as a local resource for farmers in Lancaster’s Southern End to encourage sustainable practices soon grew into wide outreach, promoting conservation practices that included the proper ways and times to plow and constructing fences to keep cows from polluting streams.
“In 1950, the county commissioners approved having a conservation district the whole way across

students were graduating and needed to be totally trained,” said Lauren Miller, a Manheim Township resident who is the executive director of LCSA. “We saw that the teachers were working their tails off, so there was this disconnect. We needed to be aligned. We didn’t want our talent to grow here and then leave because they didn’t think there were career opportu -
nities here. The business world is changing so much and so quickly that we still need to have these tricky conversations.”
Headquartered at 23 E. King St., Lancaster, LCSA is a consortium dedicated to helping Lancaster County students to become workforce ready by the time they graduate from high school. The organization’s 25-member advi -

“To collectively impact, that’s been the whole purpose of why we exist,” said Miller. “No one person can solve our workforce challenges. That’s where the power happens. We say, ‘Join the movement.’ No one organization has all the resources or all the answers. We have to be leveraging each other’s strengths.”
Each September LCSA conducts its Workforce 2030 Summit, an annual conference designed to make Lancaster County a workready community by 2030. This year, more than 250 educators, business leaders, representatives of nonprofits and community partners attended.
LCSA also engages in grant-giving, programs, projects and learning platforms like apprenticeships, internships, job shadowing, company tours and mentoring.
“To me, the term STEM is all about creative thinking, problem-solving and all the things that make you successful in the workplace,” said Miller. “It’s the Lancaster County STEM Alliance’s belief that all Lancaster County students should be graduating with basic STEM skills. STEM jobs pay well, and the demand for them is growing.”
LCSA is a collaborative network of dozens of local organizations similar to the Lancaster Chamber of Commerce, Lancaster-Lebanon IU13 and the United Way of Lancaster County. LCSA also works closely with the county’s 16 public school districts and 15 non-public schools located in Lancaster County.
“We’re hyper-focused on Lancaster County,” said Miller. “I think the people who are involved with the Lancaster County STEM Alliance are civically minded community leaders who are committed to Lancaster County residents having
life-sustaining wages. They want to make Lancaster better. They’re willing to invest their capital and resources to ensure people have jobs that are meaningful.”
In 2024, 23,000 individuals participated in LCSA programs.
“We’ve always needed essential life skills,” said Miller. “But work has become more technology driven. The world of work is no longer factory based, and work has required us to do more thinking. Jobs look very different today.”
Miller and foundation program coordinator Andrew Garner make up LCSA’s two-employee staff, but the organization relies heavily on the contributions of numerous volunteers. LCSA’s work is almost entirely funded through the Steinman Foundation, whose mission is to ensure quality of life for all the citizens of Lancaster County.
“We have a committed group of people who are trying to prepare the workforce of tomorrow,” said Miller. “It’s not just the sole responsibility of parents or educators to prepare the new generation for work. We all play a critical role in
a student’s education. We really need the community to open doors to the education system.” LCSA was established in 2015.
A year later, the organization was recognized nationally as a STEM ecosystem.
“I think a large majority of the community doesn’t even know we
exist,” said Miller. “But we have definitely grown quite a bit over the last three years. We’re only as strong as the network of people who are supporting us. There are a lot of ways to get involved in the Lancaster County STEM Alliance.” For additional information, go to www.lancasterstem.org.

Conservation
“The erosion and sedimentation department works with people in development, such as landowners, construction companies or engineers, on any project larger than an acre,” Gregory said, noting that the office reviews work plans to determine how the soil will be maintained prior to construction, during the work and afterward.
The watershed department encourages landowners to maintain their properties to promote water health.
“We all live in a watershed,” Gregory said, adding that our actions could
from pg 1
impact the watershed right outside our door or the wider Chesapeake Bay watershed. “This department focuses on ways people can maintain and protect the watershed. Maybe you have a no-mow zone in your yard to encourage pollinators, or you plant native plants to support wildlife.”
For the data and analysis department, the goal is to tell the story of the efforts of the district and share the results with the public so people can understand the work and see the benefits of conservation, she said.
“In the education department, our role is to talk with residents about
conservation practices and provide support for teachers and students working with state standards,” she explained, noting that one such effort is the countywide Envirothon program.
The office works collaboratively with numerous organizations in the state, including the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, the Pennsylvania Game Commission and Lancaster Conservancy.
Funding for conservation district work comes from state and federal sources, as well as grants and donations. The organization will also participate in the ExtraGive on Friday, Nov. 21, to support its 501(c)(3)
Conservation Foundation of Lancaster County.
The employees of the conservation district, as well as the group’s nine-member all-volunteer board, want people to understand the value of the district’s work, as well as the impact we all have on our environment.
“A person might drive through Lancaster County and see plastic tubes sticking up next to a creek and wonder what’s going on there,” Gregory said.
“We want to tell the story that those are protecting seedlings and that in 10 years, you’re going to see a forest buffer next to that stream, which will

protect the stream.”
Projects like that one will take years to complete, but the district also has shorter-term initiatives.
“Our watershed department is working to put in-stream monitoring devices into more and more streams, so they see and chart on a daily basis what’s happening in the water,” she said, noting that these devices provide much quicker updates than a traditional stream sample that might be taken every six to eight months. “We currently have 16 in-stream monitoring devices, and we hope to add more in the future.”
To promote its watershed work, the district will host the 2025 Lancaster-Lebanon Watershed Forum on Saturday, Nov. 15, from 8:30 a.m. to noon at Millersville University.
“The forum is a free event for volunteers, students, watershed organizations and practitioners to learn and collaborate,” Gregory said. “This year we will hear from Dr. David Bowne at Elizabethtown College about wetland biodiversity and Hilary Dozier from USGS about local water quality monitoring.” Registration for the event is required by Friday, Nov. 7, and breakfast is included in the forum. To learn more, visit https:// bit.ly/3JhnUqn.
The conservation district also holds an annual tree seedling sale, which opens in February for pickup in April, and hosts a Youth Conservation School in the summer.
“We all impact our natural resources, whether that’s in a positive or a negative way,” Gregory said. “The conservation district is a resource for everyone, because we all use natural resources every day.”

Community Fall Fest Planned
