Participants receive instruction on an active construction site during the field day.

Fifty learners from 28 conservation districts and the PA Department of Environmental Protection convened for Chapter 102 Basic Technical Training at the Red Lion Harrisburg-Hershey in Harrisburg, PA, May 20-24, 2024.

Participants engaged in a combination of hands-on classroom learning, field work, and presentations on topics ranging from technical plan review to Verbal Judo. The field day featured strategically placed learning stations at two sites in different stages of construction. Special thanks to the Cumberland County Conservation District for hosting the field day. It was a huge success!

This training was funded through a grant from the PA Department of Environmental Protection and made possible through the cooperation of the PA Association of Conservation Districts and Pennsylvania’s conservation districts.
