March 2026

Catch up with SWEP 3 Rivers and join us!

Hello SWEP Members and Friends,

As we move into March and the first signs of spring begin to emerge, SWEP is excited to welcome a new season of activity, collaboration, and stewardship.

Thanks for all the members who participated in the annual membership vote where we have unanimously approved our 2026-2027 Budget and welcome Renée Krynock into the role of Vice-Chair! As always, we're looking for fresh faces on our board and committees so don't be shy and reach out if you are interested in taking on a larger role within the organization.

Spring is a time when the landscape reminds us that small actions—planting, restoring, caring for land —create lasting impact over time. In the coming weeks, we look forward to bringing our community together through volunteer days, educational opportunities, and networking. Whether you are joining us for the first time or continuing your involvement, your support helps grow this shared vision of environmental care, learning, and connection.

Thank you for being part of the SWEP community as we step into the season ahead.

Happy Spring,
The SWEP Leadership Team
