We recently completed a stream restoration project in partnership with the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission!💧🌿

The project addressed significant streambank erosion and unstable cutbanks by installing log and rock structures, grading the banks to a more stable slope, and seeding the area to promote vegetative growth!

Have a stream on your property experiencing erosion or other issues? Contact the Montour County Conservation District to learn how we may be able to help!

The Montour County Conservation District participated in an educational field day at the Shultz farm with students from Danville Area School District. Students learned about various aspects of a farming as well as best management practices to improve soil and water quality. The conservation district showed students how macro-invertebrate life in a stream is an indicator of stream health. Students helped identify bugs and learned about the purpose of conservation districts.
