The Chesapeake Bay Foundation and partner organizations will host a new Pennsylvania learning Series Webinar-- What Lives In PA Waterways-- on May 26 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Do you know what lives in our rivers, creeks, and streams in the Keystone State? Pennsylvania is home to some incredible biodiversity, which is why it's a favorite for anglers and outdoor recreation enthusiasts alike!

Join this roundtable discussion with a few of our very own fishing and stream-health enthusiasts as we talk about the species that call our state home, the importance of stream health, and ways we can improve our impaired waterways, making them better and healthier homes for aquatic species.

Speakers include:

-- Derek Eberly – Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership

-- Brian Gish – CBF staff, Watershed Coordinator

-- BJ Small – CBF staff, PA Communications and Media Coordinator
