On October 26 the Dauphin County Conservation District will hold a Watershed Association Summit to bring together those working toward improving the health of waterways in Dauphin County. 

The Summit will last from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and will be held at the Dauphin County Agricultural and Natural Resources Center, located at 1451 Peters Mountain Road, Dauphin, Pa.

The agenda includes presentations about streambank stabilization, illegal dumpsite and litter enforcement and cleanup, volunteer retention, and funding for watershed groups. 

A guided tour of DCCD’s Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMP) Trail will conclude the Summit.  

The Dauphin County Watershed Association Summit will be a great learning and networking opportunity for those that are member, or interested in being involved, in their local watershed groups. 

This event is funded by an Environmental Education Grant from the Department of Environmental Protection. 

The Summit is free to attend, but please RSVP by October 24 by contacting Megan Blackmon by phone at 717-921-8100 or send email to: mblackmon@dauphinc.org.
