It is always a great time working alongside Kaitlyn from French Creek Valley Conservancy who shared about French Creek wildlife from mussels to Hellbenders to otters!

Other presenters included staff from Erie County Conservation District, Pennsylvania Sea Grant, and Northwest Tri-County Intermediate Unit 5. All our partner organizations have resources and expertise to share. Contact them about activities, projects or experiences for your students.
