| | Pennsylvania - French Creek Watershed |
 | | Encompassing an area of 1270 square miles, French Creek is also considered one of six watersheds in the northeastern states that are critical to protecting fish and mussel species at risk of extinction. |
 | | Some of the French Creek region's plants of special concern include the rush aster, the cuckooflower, vanilla sweet grass, Beck's water-marigold, the Canada buffalo-berry, the broad-leaved water-plantain, the showy mountain-ash, the hard-stemmed bulrush, the swamp fly honeysuckle, and several kinds of sedges, milfoils, and pondweeds. |
 | | In 1995, the French Creek Project was created as a partnership between the Pennsylvania Environmental Council, the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, and Allegheny College. |
