Ned Mulcahy

Supported by University of Pittsburgh Environmental Law Clinic, several Pittsburgh foundations and many others, Ned Mulcahy created Three Rivers Waterkeeper in 2009.  In its simplest form, Waterkeeper serves as a voice for the water in the Pittsburgh regioin.  Armed with an aluminum boat, two attorneys, and an insatiable desire to create a well-informed citizenry, Three Rivers Waterkeeper protects water quality through on-the-water surveillance, education, legal action and community empowerment.

In addition to holding J.D. and Certificate of Advanced Study in Environmental Law, Science, and Policy (2009) and a B.A. in Political Science (2001), Ned is pursuing an M.P.H. with a focus in Environmental Risk Assessment at the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health.  Though reasonably well traveled, Ned has spent 28 of his 30+ years as a proud resident of Southwestern Pennsylvania and now calls Lawrenceville home.
