The PA Lake Management Society will hold its 28th Annual Conference on March 7-8 at the Ramada Hotel and Conference Center in State College.
Each year PALMS coordinates a two day conference for those interested in learning more about pond and lake management.
Whether you are a professional Lake Manager, a member of a Lake Association, a Chemical Applicator, a student, or simply have a desire to learn more about the state of Pennsylvania's Lakes, this Conference would be a benefit to you.
The Conference agenda covers a wide range of topics such as invasive aquatic plant identification and eradication, case studies of publicly funded projects and stewardship programs, management or remediation techniques, habitat or fishery improvement, and chemical application techniques.
Core and Category Credits are available for professional chemical applicators for many of the Conference presentations.
