Western PA Conservancy’s Allegheny River Sojourn June 1

The Western PA Conservancy will host the Allegheny River Sojourn on June 1, this year with the theme “Back to the Allegheny: A Float Through Time” which will include activities and presentations that will explore the region’s history, present and future.

The upper Allegheny River meanders through towns such as Warren, Irvine and Tidioute, Pa., a region that was the site of Native American settlements, European immigration, the first man-made oil well and the Kinzua Dam. This combination of cultural and ecological heritage has shaped the present state of the Allegheny River.

Participants are welcome to register for the event at the cost of $65 per person. A $65 registration fee includes meals, snacks and water, canoe rental, shuttling for the event and educational programs.

Registration runs through May 16.

Sponsors for the sojourn include PA Organization for Watersheds and Rivers, Allegheny Outfitters and the Western PA Conservancy.

Online registration is available.  Click Here to learn the dates and times for other river sojourns in Pennsylvania.
