ClearWater Conservancy Note Cards
In 2006, local artists were invited to
submit works of art based on the theme "Millbrook Marsh through the Eyes
of Artists" for a calendar. Among the collection of photographs, oil
paintings, pastels, and mixed media, seventeen local artists’ creations
won spots in the calendar.
Eight of those pieces were chosen for a set of note cards.
ClearWater is selling sets of these note cards for $10 to support
our on-the-ground land and water
conservation projects. Please call ClearWater at 814-237-0400 or email
jennifer@clearwaterconservancy.org
for more information or to place an order.
Millbrook Marsh is important to the community as the only
sizable example of one of the rarest types of natural communities in the
county, a calcareous marsh. ClearWater protects this important natural
site with a conservation easement through its volunteer-led Land
Conservation Program, which
altogether has protected nearly 3,500 acres within
Centre County.
The marsh is not only a protected natural area, but also home to the Millbrook Marsh Nature Center, managed and operated by Centre Region Parks & Recreation. Within Millbrook Marsh, trails and boardwalks offer the public a unique opportunity to explore and observe this wetland ecosystem.
