Franklin County Conservation District Holds Streamside Signage and Tree Planting Workshop
The Franklin County Conservation District team held an adult education event to address local water quality issues. In partnership with the Izaak Walton League, the staff discussed clean water best management practices suitable for any landowner.
Those who joined the event learned, and had the chance to practice, how to properly plant trees/shrubs with retired service forester Mike Kusko of the Izaak Walton League. They also received a tour of the property and trees planted to date, explored the new educational signs, and learned about funding programs that can assist them with their conservation efforts and collective county clean water goals.
Financial and other support for this project is provided by the Pennsylvania Association of Conservation Districts, Inc. through a grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection under Section 319 of the Clean Water Act, administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
