Free Twilight Pond Walk Offered

8/17/2017

4 Comments

 
The Clarion and Venango Conservation Districts will be hosting a free Twilight Pond Walk with the Penn State Extension.  The workshop will be held at YMCA's Camp Coffman.  We will gather at the Fisherman's Cabin Pond located behind the dining hall at Camp Coffman.  The program is designed for owners or managers who maintain ponds and lakes.

Penn State's Pond Educator, Bryan Swistock, will discuss life cycles both in and around the pond, starting with an overview of pond basics.  His emphasis will be on plant identification, management, and algal control.  He will also cover topics of pond structure, fish and wildlife issues, managing plants and algae, and an introduction to harmful algal blooms.  Samples of aquatic plants may be brought to the workshop for identification.

The workshop will be outside, so please dress for the weather.  Participants may bring a lawn chair if they will need a place to sit during the two hour session.

For more information, contact Tricia McIntire at the Clarion Conservation District at 814-297-7813 or mcintireccd@gmail.com

I hope that I can attend the Twilight Pond Walk held in your community. I know that it will bring enjoyment and it will enlighten the attendees in regards to conservation of our nature. Conserving our nature is an important effort we can do to our environment. We all know that nature gives us a lot of benefits that's why we should take care of it. If we don't create an effort to conserve the environment, our future lives will be at risk.

When is this? My uncle is a pond owner and I'm sure he would be interested. Can I join even if I'm not one? I'm thinking of owning a pond someday and I'm sure that this workshop would be a lot of help for someone like me who has a limited knowledge of maintaining ponds and lakes. Anyway, I would just send an email if I wouldn't get response herw. Thank you!
