The employees of Agr are involved as a group in various activities throughout the community. This page includes descriptions of some of these activities.
Adopt-A-Highway
Pennsylvania's Adopt-A-Highway program involves volunteer groups who "adopt" sections of area highways and are responsible for removing litter from their section throughout each year. The employees of Agr have participated in this program for over 10 years and cover a three-mile stretch of State Route 528 along the Dr. Preston Conservancy Area at Lake Arthur, Moraine State Park.
