NEWFOUNDLAND, PA — The Pike County Conservation District (PCCD), the Wayne Conservation District and the Pike-Wayne chapter of Trout Unlimited will host Stream Keepers, an educational program, from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, October 5 at the Carlton Drake Memorial Park. This is a free opportunity for youth aged 11-14 and their chaperone(s) to learn about stream health through hands-on activities such as fly tying, fly casting and aquatic macroinvertebrate surveying. Additional youth participants who do not meet the age requirements are welcome to attend with a registered participant, but must remain with their chaperone at all times. 

Lunch will be provided for all program participants, and registered youth will receive an activity/reflection journal and will be able to use provided stream equipment. 

The park is located at 994 Main St.

Because space is limited, registration is required and will close when full. Learn more and register online at www.bit.ly/pccdstream.
