Adopt-a-Highway Cleanup: Clarks Valley Road
2023-04-22 09:00 - 12:00
CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS

The Doc Fritchey Chapter of Trout Unlimited will provide trash bags, safety vests, gloves and bottled water for volunteers. We split our volunteers into teams of two or three and walk along the shoulders of the highway, some teams going uphill and others downhill.

Volunteers pick up trash, litter, and assorted junk, with the intent of keeping that human-generated trash out of Clarks Creek.

We will meet at the parking lot located 5 miles from the turn-off unto Clarks Valley Road, if coming from the West. The parking lot is on a hill/raised area above the main road. There will be a sign marking the parking lot.

We never have enough volunteers, so if you are interested in helping, please contact Dennis Coffman by email at dcoffman@dftu.org to let him know

General Membership Meeting
2023-01-24 19:00 - 21:00 | Fort Indiantown Gap Community Club, 9-65 Fisher Avenue, Annville, PA, 17003, United States
This month’s general membership meeting will feature two exciting presentations.

The first will be by the Lower Susquehanna Riverkeeper Association, which is responsible for our stream restoration funding grants. Executive Director Ted Evgeniadis’ presentation will cover projects and needs of the Susquehanna drainage.

The second presentation will be given by Lori Glace, a conservation analyst and watershed specialist for the Cumberland County Conservation District. Lori has been invited to discuss the recently completed, major streambank restoration project on the special regulations section of the Yellow Breeches.

For many fly fishermen in central Pennsylvania, this stretch of the Yellow Breeches is “prime water,” so we invited Lori to join us to show how this significant project was designed and implemented. It promises to be a most interesting program.
