Fifty-three learners from 31 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 19-23, 2025.
Participants engaged in a combination of hands-on classroom learning, fieldwork, and presentations on erosion and sedimentation control topics, such as safety on the job site and how to conduct a technical plan review. The field day featured strategically placed learning stations at two sites, each in a different stage of construction. Special thanks to the Cumberland County Conservation District for hosting the field day—everyone’s favorite part of the week!
This training is 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.
