There are many challenges to protecting the headwaters of the Lehigh River and its watershed, including:
- Forest Fragmentation
- Pollution
- The Loss of Important Wetlands
- The Loss of Streamside Buffers and Vernal Ponds
- The Spread of Invasive Species
- The Loss of Native Species
North Pocono CARE carries out educational programs, monitors conditions, and takes necessary actions in order to meet these challenges and protect our waters and watershed.
