The public is invited to a special presentation by Scott Koser, program manager for the PA Coldwater Habitat Program of Trout Unlimited, who will outline TU’s Priority Waters initiatives and recently completed and planned regional habitat improvement projects in our region for the upcoming 2024 construction season.

Also featured will be Brian Cooper, TU’s PA Abandoned Mine Drainage project manager, who will describe TU’s statewide AMD cleanup efforts, its Technical Assistance Program, and current and future projects to restore AMD-impaired fisheries in our region such as Beech Creek.

TU’s vision is to work with communities across America to engage in the work of repairing and renewing our rivers, streams, and other water bodies on which we all depend. They are developing a strategic resource analysis to restore and protect native brook and wild trout populations from threats from many factors, so our children can enjoy these valuable fisheries.  

The meeting will be held on Wednesday at 7 p.m. at the Covenant Central Presbyterian Church at 807 West Fourth Street in Williamsport. Parking and entrance to the Church is at the rear of the building with access off of Campbell Street.
