Introduction

For five years I worked as an environmental educator and river guide for the Wildlands Conservancy, based in Emmaus, Pennsylvania. Through my work I was able to travel throughout Northeastern PA, specifically in the Lehigh River Watershed. I was able to witness the naturally occurring wonders found in this part of the state and now I will be sharing them with you. For this blog I will be traveling back to these sites each week and will give a journalistic perspective to you, my readers. You will then be able to visit these sites not only through my blog, but on your own, in your travels. This week I will be headed to the uppermost portions of the Lehigh River and highlighting recreational areas. Over the next couple weeks I will be working my way downstream and posting blogs from the head waters of the Lehigh down to Easton where it flows into the Delaware. I hope you follow me on these travels and get out and make it to at least some of the areas I highlight. I am sure that they will not disappoint.
