The PA Council of Trout Unlimited and its partner organizations will be hosting the 2022 Joint Meeting of the Keystone Coldwater Conference and PA Chapter of the American Fisheries Society on February 25-26, 2022, at the Ramada Conference Center in State College

The title for the upcoming conference is--  Learning from the Past, Adapting for the Future.

The program will focus on successful efforts and solutions of the past and ways we can adapt for the future to ensure that our coldwater resources are here for future generations.

This biennial conference is attended by nearly 200 participants, including environmental professionals, university faculty and students, anglers, and grassroots volunteers from a multitude of conservation organizations.

The purpose of the conference is to promote the sharing of ideas and concepts, and to learn new techniques to protect, conserve and restore Pennsylvania’s coldwater resources.

PA Trout is very excited about their partnership with the PA Chapter of the American Fisheries Society.

PATU, along with the PA Chapter of AFS, the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, the Fish & Boat Commission, and the Foundation for Pennsylvania Watersheds collaborate to plan and implement this program.
