In February, Montgomery County Conservation District (MCCD) presented a nonpoint source pollution prevention and watershed awareness program to Penn State Master Watershed Stewards from Bucks and Montgomery Counties. In March, the district co-led a site tour with native live stake harvesting and installation, as well as with Penn State Master Watershed Stewards. The site tour was co-led with the Perkiomen Valley Trout Unlimited Chapter.

The project was funded by PACD’s Nonpoint Source Pollution Prevention Mini-grant Program.

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.
