Trout Unlimited and the West Branch Susquehanna Restoration Coalition will host the 6th West Branch Susquehanna Restoration Symposium on April 27-28 at the Ramada Inn and Conference Center, State College.

A field trip will also be offered to visit treatment systems in the headwaters of the West Branch Susquehanna River, including the recently completed Lancashire #15 active treatment facility.
