Our monthly meetings are open to the public. See sidebar for next meeting date and location. 

During the month of February, BSWA offered its first session of fly tying classes. There was good participation from the community and the group was very enthusiastic. Classes were held Tuesday evenings during the month of February.

The class ended with a Saturday stream side, 

hands-on class of tactics and techniques.

At the request of the participants, classes will be offered again this fall featuring more local trout patterns, bass and salt water flies.

The Big Spring Watershed Association is also part of the PA Department of Transportation’s Adopt-A-Highway program. Under this program, BSWA sponsors twice yearly cleanups along the beautiful Big Spring. On Saturday, 14 April, 20 members of BSWA and local communities helped to clean up along the Big Spring It was a great way for the community to come together and appreciate the beauty of our natural resource and to keep the spring as clear and clean as possible. West Pennsboro Twp. supplied the truck and driver to help dispose of the 9 bags of trash and other items that were collected. Volunteers also helped to trim trees and rake brush around the historic Barrel Factory at the head of the spring. Next clean up day will be held in mid October this fall.
