“Without clean water we have nothing,” said Kathleen Flynn, PHLT Vice President and local angler representing those who fish along the exceptional streams of the Poconos who spoke at a press conference on 8/14. “Water is the life blood of all living things. Both the smallest nymph that feeds the wild trout , and the largest mammal on land or sea, require clean water to exist.” Learn more here .

Join us as we search for Common Milkweed plants on a Smithfield Township site that is slated for development. If we find milkweed plants, we will transplant them to ForEvergreen Nature Preserve.
