On June 9, 2017, the North Fork Watershed Association and the Jefferson Conservation District assisted Susquehanna University in sampling 8 unassessed streams in the North Fork Watershed. The purpose of the Unassessed Waters Initiative is to determine if cold water streams are home to wild trout, including the eastern brook trout. The presence of wild trout indicates exceptional water quality that benefits multiple priority species. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NFWA is a Watershed Mini Grant Winner!
At a recent award ceremony, Don Crytzer, NFWA and Grace Pesselato, Jefferson Conservation District, were presented with an award signifying the North Fork Watershed Association is a Watershed Mini-Grant Winner. The Grant is part of the Dominion Watershed Mini Grants Program and is administered by the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy.
