Overview UpstreamPgh, formerly the Nine Mile Run Watershed Association, recently celebrated 20 years as a 501c3, and 15 years since the completion of the Nine Mile Run Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration in Frick Park. Throughout the years the work of Upstream has migrated from Frick Park and into the upper watershed: Upstream. Our tagline is “Healthy Ecology, Healthy Community”, and as a group focused on clean water, we are equally focused on people. We strongly believe that humans are a part of nature, and not separate. Our projects and programs are aimed at reconnecting people to the environment through nature-based solutions like green stormwater infrastructure. We are dedicated to serving those people and communities that are most underserved, and developed a set of Climate Equity Principles to accompany the Nine Mile Run Environmental Equity Study which guides us as we work toward climate justice in the Pittsburgh region.
