  4. The Mountain Range in Wayne County • The mountain range in my county is called the Pocono Mountains. • The Pocono Mountains are about 360-415 million years old. • There are lots of resorts that are built in the mountain range.

  5. The Cayugas and the Senecas • The Cayuga and Seneca tribes were an Iroquoian speaking tribe that lived in the area of Wayne County. • They are Hotinoshonni (People of the Longhouse)

  7. Industries • Even though there are many industries in my county, I think that the most important one is the transportation and warehousing • The transportation supplies people with cars, planes, and trains. The things who can ride the trains are people and cargo. • The warehousing supplies people with space to put cargo and warehouse to store them in

  8. Water and Soil • Some problems that must be dealt with to protect the soil and water resources in my county are the drugs and chemicals. • There has also been nuclear waste from power plants destroying habitats and homes.

  9. Energy My region is healthier than the national mix because it has a large percentage of renewable and hydroelectric power

  10. Waste • There are many landfills and a lot of air pollution from incinerating garbage • Improvements that could be made: • Incinerate the landfills in an airtight place so the pollution is out of the air and then use the ashes to make fertilizer. • More waste to energy facilities

  11. Climate Smart Communities and Envirothon • A climate smart community is a community that meets the expectations to stand up to the environmental challenges that pose a threat to the county. There are no climate smart communities in my county. • All of these schools competed in Envirothon in my county. • Canaan Christian Academy • Delaware Valley • Wayne Highlands • Wallenpaupack • Western Wayne High School

  12. A Fun Fact about my County is… My county is named after the first white pioneer: Mad Anthony Wayne. His nickname was actually “Mad.”
