We're thankful that Sally Veach, Artist has chosen to support our organization. She got a great writeup in the Reading newspaper today.

AgriDrain level control devices are extensively used to control water levels in irrigation systems. Someone discovered that they work well for controlling water levels in passive treatment systems for acid mine drainage. They are designed into many passive treatment systems.

We’re doing maintenance on the Sh***un Seeps treatment system today. We need to get the water out of the treatment bed ahead of a major rebuild project planned for later this year.

Anyone who has seen the Red Moshannon knows the rust-orange color that stains its streambeds and banks. Artist Sally Veach has made that color the subject of 10 new drawings

Purchase a Work of Art and Help Restore Moshannon Creek 🎨💧

We're excited to share something special. Virginia-based artist Sally Veach, who has ancestral ties to Clearfield and Centre Counties, has created a series of drawings called Yellow Boy: Ancestral Reckoning on the Red Moshannon. The drawings are made using pigments from Central Appalachian acid mine drainage (AMD), the very thing that's impaired parts of our watershed for generations.

Sally worked directly with MCWA on this project, visiting sites in the Moshannon Creek watershed and tracing her own family's coal-mining history in the area. The drawings feature mayflies, stoneflies, and brook trout — species that signify healthy waterways and that MCWA is working to restore to our streams. Together, they turn a symbol of environmental damage into something beautiful. Sally has pledged every dollar from their sale to go straight to MCWA's stream restoration work.

The drawings will be on view from August 15 to October 12, as part of Sally's solo show Hubris and the Sublime at GoggleWorks Center for the Arts in Reading, PA. An opening reception and artist talk is scheduled for August 21, 6-8 pm.

They're priced from $700, and you can also view and purchase them anytime at:

www.sallyveach.com/yellow-boy

Purchasers of these drawings not only directly support MCWA but also receive a meaningful and visually pleasing work of art that signifies their commitment to the future health of the watershed.

A few of the available drawings are displayed with this post.
