The PA Council of Trout along with PA Sea Grant, Fish and Boat Commission and the local Trout Unlimited chapters will be conducting three Aquatic Invasive Species and Conservation Workshops across the state.

-- February 28: Lewistown Recreation Center in Lewistown, Mifflin County;

-- March 7: McKeever Environmental Learning Center in Sandy Lake, Mercer County; and

-- March 21: Loyalhanna Watershed Association Building in Ligonier, Westmoreland County.

The first half of the workshop will be presented by PA Sea Grant and discuss the threats of AIS and the impacts they will have on our coldwater resources. The second half of the workshop will focus on conservation initiatives and proper techniques for assessing and protecting PA’s coldwater resources.

These workshops are free and open to the public. A light lunch will be provided for those attending. To register, please contact Samantha Kutskel by sending email to: skutskel@coldwaterheritage.org or call 814-359-5233.
