Penn State Extension, the Watershed Coalition of the Lehigh Valley, and the Appalachian Mountain Club are hosting a free workshop on aquatic invasive species, presented by Sarah Whitney from the Pennsylvania Sea Grant, 6:30 p.m. Dec. 16 at Illick’s Mill, 100 Illick’s Mill Road, Bethlehem.

Aquatic invasive species are found outside their natural geographic range that cause ecological or economic harm or harm to human health.

Aquatic invasive species can be spread by human activities, such as boating, angling, and water gardening, to name a few.

In this workshop, Whitney will present information about species of concern in Pennsylvania and highlight the steps boaters, anglersand others can take to prevent the introduction and spread of harmful species.
