Pennsylvania Department of
Conservation and Natural Resources |
Financial support for this
project was provided through the Pennsylvania Department of
Conservation and Natural Resources (PA DCNR). The PA DCNR is
charged with maintaining and preserving the 116 state parks;
managing the 2.1 million acres of state forest land; providing
information on the state's ecological and geologic resources; and
establishing community conservation partnerships with grants and
technical assistance to benefit rivers, trails, greenways, local
parks and recreation, regional heritage parks, open space and
natural areas. Air pollution impacts the recreational enjoyment,
the ecology and welfare of these public lands. |

The County of Berks |
The County of Berks, the Berks County Environmental
Advisory Council (BCEAC) and with various departments within the
County, created and maintains the Berks County Hazecam. In 2004
the county created the BCEAC with the charge to create programs to
address environmental issues and to provide solutions to assist
the county in addressing these problems. The installation of the
hazecam was supported by the county as a tool to educate the
public about Berks County’s air quality, the county’s designation
by the US EPA as a non-attainment county (meaning our air quality
is considered unhealthy during certain times of the year) and the
impact this has on our citizens.
