The Abandoned Mine Reclamation Conference Planning Committee is busily planning for the next conference and are happy to announce that the 2015 Pennsylvania Conference on Abandoned Mine Reclamation will be held June 25-26 at the Ramada Inn and Conference Center in State College. 

The theme is "Reclaiming Our Communities." 

This year, we are going to incorporate ideas, presentations, discussions, successes, and partnerships that will showcase how the PA AMR  Community does what it does best, getting our hands dirty, reclaiming our  communities.

As part of the Pennsylvania Abandoned Mine Reclamation Conference there will be a film festival showcasing independently produced environmental films. The submission deadline is March 3. The Conference planning committee is currently accepting submissions.

This is a great opportunity for watershed groups to highlight their projects and exercise their creative skills behind a video  camera.

YouTube and Vimeo submissions as well as DVD's are eligible for consideration. Environmental topics are preferred. Films should be no longer than 30 minutes and be of original material.
