Western PA Conservancy, DCNR Host 2018 Riparian Forest Buffer Summit Feb. 28-March 1 In State College

The Western Pennsylvania Conservancy and the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources are hosting the 2018 Riparian Forest Buffer Summit at the Ramada Conference Center in State College February 28 and March 1.

The Summit was created as an opportunity for those interested in the health of Pennsylvania’s waterways to learn more about the vital role Riparian areas play and how we can improve planting and maintaining them.

The Summit will provide attendees with information and skills-- from creating planting plans to working with contractors-- that they can utilize in their day-to-day work.

Those who would benefit from attending include conservation professionals and decision-makers that work with riparian forest buffers across Pennsylvania.

There will also be opportunity for exhibitors and vendors.
