IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Environmental Education: Independence Conservancy conducts Land Camp, a week long residential rustic camping experience to show young teens how "life depends on land," i.e., where do food and water come from, what happens to sewage and trash, how is electricity generated, etc. The Conservancy promotes passive treatment to restore streams impaired by abandoned coal mine drainage. The Conservancy offers technical assistance to local governments, industry, other nonprofits and the general public in abandoned mine reclamation techniques, stream bank restoration, riparian buffer installation, mitigation wetland construction and invasive plant control.
