Forty-three learners from 22 conservation districts and the PA Department of Environmental Protection convened for Chapter 102 Basic Technical Training at the Penn Harris Hotel & Conference Center in Camp Hill, PA, June 1-5, 2026.
Participants engaged in a combination of hands-on classroom learning, fieldwork, and presentations on erosion and sedimentation control, including safety on the job site and how to best 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 York County Conservation District for hosting the field day—the highlight 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.
