Along the banks of Cedar Creek in East Earl Township, the Clair Good farm has been a working dairy for generations. This property, like many Lancaster County farms, borders a stream whose water will flow into the famous Chesapeake Bay. The Goods understood that the way they treated their land here in Lancaster would affect the water downstream in the Bay. So, it was time to put the pedal to the metal and install some much-needed Best Management Practices.

For this week's blog, we're exploring the Good Farm's work in water quality, East Earl Township's numerous restoration efforts, and the scale of conservation work in Lancaster County. Click the link below to give it a read now!
