State Senator Tracy Pennycuick’s office helped the Berks County Conservation District obtain a PA Department of Community and Economic Development Watershed Restoration and Protection Program grant in the amount of $143,703. The grant funds will be used to restore a wetland and a tributary to Oysterville Creek in Pike Township, Berks County.

Currently, the tributary is routed along the road shoulder and is a traffic concern, especially in winter, when it causes ice buildup. With that come road salt issues, namely road salt entering an exceptional-value, wild brown trout stream. The Berks County Conservation District plans to return the tributary to its original channel and restore the wetlands.
