Congratulations, Melissa, on being named the 2026 PA Watershed Champion! It has been such an honor to work alongside you, and this recognition is so well-deserved. Your steadfast dedication to the farmers of Juniata County is clearly evidenced by the meaningful work we’ve completed together at the Shearer’s, Henry's, and the Speer's Farms just this last year alone. I am especially grateful for how our collaboration has helped the Alliance expand our reach and impact in the upper Susquehanna watershed. Your commitment to collaborative conservation is a model for us all, and I am incredibly appreciative of your leadership. Thank you for everything you do for our watershed, and I look forward to everything we will accomplish together in the future!
