Join us for an engaging webinar exploring the often-overlooked threat posed by the movement of native species within their own regions.
While invasive species are typically associated with foreign organisms, the relocation of native species can also disrupt delicate ecosystems.
In Pennsylvania, our unique populations of Brook Trout face significant risks from the introduction of hatchery Brook Trout and the relocation of wild populations from other streams.
Learn how these practices endanger isolated native populations and what steps can be taken to preserve these vital inhabitants of Pennsylvania's waterways.
