Extension welcomes new staff member Penn State Extension increased environmental and horticultural support with two full-time positions, the coordinator for the Master Gardeners of Chester County and the coordinator for the Master Watershed Stewards of Chester and Delaware Counties. Prior to July 2023, the two positions were held by one person, Meagan Hopkins-Doerr.

During Hopkins-Doerr’s six years coordinating both programs, the number of people enrolled as a Master Gardener (MG) or a Master Watershed Steward (MWS) increased significantly. Correspondingly, projects by both groups increased. Some of the MG projects in Chester County include providing educational workshops, educating through community gardens

and the MG demonstration pantries, senior centers, and gardens, participating in Penn other Chester County organiState University’s entomology zations. They also have a new research projects, supporting See Extensions pg 6 and facilitating projects related to food insecurity, leading youth education efforts, and expanding public knowledge of native plants and pollinators.

Chester County receives national award The Chester County Department of Community Development has received an Award of Excellence from the National Association for County Community and Economic Development (NACCED) for the creation of its Affordable Housing Developer Collaborative. The award, announced at the NACCED conference in Salt Lake City, Utah, was presented to Chester County, citing the efforts of the county’s Partnership to End Homelessness initiative to bring together property developers and organizations to find ways to create more affordable housing options. As the award announcement noted, “Chester County’s Affordable Housing Developer

Collaborative brought together regional groups to address geographically-specific needs, leading to new partnerships with property developers, nonprofits and municipalities to discover opportunities (for affordable housing) that otherwise may have been dismissed.” In 2022, the Chester County commissioners pledged a commitment to the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s House America initiative, with a goal of adding 1,000 affordable units in the county over 10 years. To read more about the housing support programs in Chester County and the Chester County Partnership to End Homelessness, visit www.chesco.org/housing.

Displaying the award are (from left) Chester County Department of Community Development Planning supervisor Trish Hennessy, deputy director Shaun Bollig and director Dolores Colligan.

All of these projects are in partnership with other individuals and groups, including Chester County, Delaware County, municipalities, schools, watershed associations, con-

servation groups, and friends of groups. The increased volunteer membership and activities created a need for additional staff support. By creating two full-time positions, the MG and MWS programs can continue growing and expanding outreach offerings in local communities.

Chester County receives national award The Chester County Department of Community Development has received an Award of Excellence from the National Association for County Community and Economic Development (NACCED) for the creation of its Affordable Housing Developer Collaborative. The award, announced at the NACCED conference in Salt Lake City, Utah, was presented to Chester County, citing the efforts of the county’s Partnership to End Homelessness initiative to bring together property developers and organizations to find ways to create more affordable housing options. As the award announcement noted, “Chester County’s Affordable Housing Developer

Collaborative brought together regional groups to address geographically-specific needs, leading to new partnerships with property developers, nonprofits and municipalities to discover opportunities (for affordable housing) that otherwise may have been dismissed.” In 2022, the Chester County commissioners pledged a commitment to the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s House America initiative, with a goal of adding 1,000 affordable units in the county over 10 years. To read more about the housing support programs in Chester County and the Chester County Partnership to End Homelessness, visit www.chesco.org/housing.

Displaying the award are (from left) Chester County Department of Community Development Planning supervisor Trish Hennessy, deputy director Shaun Bollig and director Dolores Colligan.

Extensions from pg 5 numerous riparian buffers, including three that will provide live stakes for future streambank repair workshops. All of these projects are in partnership with other individuals and groups, including Chester County, Delaware County, municipalities, schools, watershed associations, con-

servation groups, and friends of groups. The increased volunteer membership and activities created a need for additional staff support. By creating two full-time positions, the MG and MWS programs can continue growing and expanding outreach offerings in local communities.

Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful will sponsor the Litter Hawk Youth Award Program, a recognition program for students in kindergarten through grade six who complete a designated project specific to their grade level. Students can participate individually or as part of a lesson initiated by schools, homeschools, Scout troops, 4-H clubs, environmental clubs or other organized groups. The Litter Hawk Youth Award Program is a way for

youngsters to share their hope, optimism, and concerns about litter and to inspire others to care for their communities through art, words, or video. In coordination of the release of the revision of Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful’s popular “Children Open your Eyes to Litter” series of books for children in kindergarten through grade six, the theme is “Open Your Eyes to Litter - Show Us What You See.” Projects include a poster for

children in kindergarten through grade four, an essay for children in grade five and a video for children in grade six. The deadline to participate is Wednesday, Jan. 31, 2024. First- and second-place winners will be awarded prizes in each grade level. All participants will receive recognition of participation. Winners will be announced in May 2024 in coordination with a display of winning entries at the Pennsylvania State Capitol

building. The Litter Hawk Youth Award Program was created with funding provided by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. For more information, downloadable promotional posters, and an online entry form, visit www.keeppabeautiful.org and select Awards under Grants & Awards. For more details, contact Stephanie Larson at slarson@keeppabeautiful.org or 724-836-4121, ext. 104.
