ON APRIL 17TH THROUGH 23,2011, Five women will walk 90 miles from the Neversink Reservoir, NY to Salt Springs State Park, PA. We will carry a hand crafted "AMPHORA" of clean water taken from Buttermilk Falls in the Catskill Mountains to a place where water is endangered. WALK ABOUT WATER is a grassroots initiative to raise awareness of the sacredness of our water and our land. We will send this water around the world to other endangered lands, as a simple act of solidarity.
Lynn Senick
Lynn Senick was born in the city of Philadelphia. As a child she spent summers in Laurel Lake in southern NJ where she learned a deep appreciation for our planet and it's beauty and resources. As a mother of four she longed to raise her children in a more natural and pure environment than Philadelphia afforded. She and her family moved to Susquehanna County, PA in 1989 to achieve this dream. Lynn had a small homestead in Brooklyn, PA where they raised small livestock and gardened. The rapidly developing gas extraction industry in Susquehanna County has alarmed her and she is concerned about the effects of the intensive gas development on the abundant water resources of her county and on all of the Marcellus Shale region. Salt Springs State Park is a sacred and healing place to her and she is thankful the Walk About Water will honor this special place.
