National Trout Unlimited and the PA Trout Unlimited Council teamed up to develop the Coldwater Conservation Corps Program to monitor water resources, conduct visual assessments, and report violations of state environmental laws to appropriate state agencies.
CCC volunteers provide an extra set of eyes and ears on the ground, ensuring that special watersheds and coldwater resources are protected from the threats of environmental degradation.
The complete CCC Field Manual and training videos can be found on the PA TU Documents webpage.
