Eel Release Day! - (Not a Holiday but It Should Be)
American Eels are a big deal. They hang out in saltwater. Swim into freshwater. Slink over land. Eat invasives. But need clean water no matter where they swim. Populations are down, but not for long! Join us as we chat with SCCD Watershed Specialist, Jill Pagnotti, and find out more about this incredible species. Find out how a few eels became our temporary pets at the office. And how you can celebrate the release of six juvenile eels here in Susquehanna County's Starrucca Creek.

The Ultimate Soil Engineer - The Woodchuck
They don't throw stuff (besides dirt). They don't really like wood. So, what's up with that chubby critter called the Woodchuck? Join us as we discover the secret world of the whistle pig. And perhaps we'll learn exactly what they spend their days doing if they're not throwing sticks in a pile. A Pennsylvania Native and a Wannabe
Cold, clean water in Pennsylvania supports some of the most spectacular native fish in the Keystone State. The Brook Trout, a small but stunning native, can turn any stream into a fly fisher’s dream. Meanwhile, the Brown Trout, one of the most heavily stocked species in PA, can significantly impact native populations, often reducing or restricting the Brook Trout’s natural range. Join us as we explore both species and take a closer look at the ongoing debate surrounding the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission’s controversial stocking practices.

Here in Pennsylvania (and pretty much everywhere), data centers seem to be on the tip of everyone's tongue. Join us as we explore the environmental ramifications of these gargantuan projects. |
