SMETHPORT — Ponds are a popular landscape feature on many Pennsylvania properties. Unfortunately, many pond owners are challenged with overabundant algae and other aquatic plants, nuisance wildlife and water quality issues.
Penn State Extension, in partnership with the McKean County Conservation District, will be offering a Pond Twilight Walk at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 14, 2022, at the Keating Sportsmen’s Club.
Participants will learn about the basics of pond water quality, ecology, plant identification and management. Permits for new pond construction and different pond maintenance will also be discussed. Each registrant will receive a copy of “Management of Fish Ponds in Pennsylvania,” which provides general information on pond construction and maintenance for new or existing ponds.
Registration for this event is limited and required by Sept. 13. Register online at https://extension.psu.edu/pond-twilight-walk or by calling 1 (877) 345-0691.
