NEW PHILADELPHIA - Thanks to a $10,000 grant from Toyota TogetherGreen by Audubon, Schuylkill Headwaters Association, Pottsville, can host a week-long field trip in June to introduce 10 high school students to its five-county region.

"The program will begin in Schuylkill County and we'll look at abandoned mine drainage sites and the legacy of coal mining," Sierra Gladfelter, New Ringgold, outreach and education coordinator for Schuylkill Headwaters Association, said Friday.

From there, the seven-day field trip - to begin June 7 and end June 14 - will continue though Berks, Chester, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties, Gladfelter said.

While Schuylkill Headwaters is developing applications, it's also continuing to raise funds for the estimated $15,000 program.
