Interested in the who, what, and why of stream restoration work? Join Donegal Trout Unlimited for a walking “eco tour” of a section of Climbers Run. You will learn how cold water streams are assessed and best management practices are designed to address pollution problems. During the tour, you will learn how volunteer citizen scientists monitor water quality to assure restoration improvements are working. In addition to the tours, Donegal Trout will be conducting fly casting demonstrations and inviting interested parties to try their hand at casting a line.

The two tours will take place during the “Day at Climbers Run” and there will be an information booth for DTU and many other great partners in clean water so you can learn more about getting involved to improve the environment.
