The PA Steelhead Assoc. is pleased to welcome Jane Menchyk from the Western PA Conservancy and Dave Skellie from PA Sea Grant/PA Fish and Boat Commission/Lake Erie Region Conservancy as our guest speakers.  Jane and Dave have worked on several land conservation projects (purchases and donations) in the Erie area. They will share their experiences and discuss the importance of strong local partnerships in their pursuit of protecting land for multiple conservation usages. Dave and Jane will briefly talk about voluntary conservation opportunities and programs for landowners to explore including the tax benefits associated with donated conservation easements. We all have a vested interest in the preservation of these special places for current and future generations to have the opportunity to enjoy.
