Join the Partners for Clean Streams for this half-day workshop where you can have fun and learn about local fresh water sources and how to keep those sources clean and abundant. This year's program has been expanded to include eight activities at the workshop. These activities will meet all the requirements of earning the PCS Patch and many requirements for other environmental patches. Patch recipients can wear their patch with greater pride of ownership in our local waterways and will be eager to continue as active partners in their preservation. Space is limited so register early.

Have you ever wondered what happens to those snags and broken lines from fishing? Join PCS for Get the Lead Out and you'll find out! Get the Lead Out is an in-stream and streambank cleanup to collect fishing line and lead from in the Maumee River as well as garbage from its shoreline.

You can pickup lead and garbage with your own group, join on one of our sponsored days, or perhaps sponsor a cleanup day so others can join you! These options allow everyone to work around the weather and water-levels. GLO is flexible, so it can fit easily into everyone's busy schedule! Go collect lead sinkers, fishing line and cleanup our river! We'll provide the supplies, the maps, the tools and a special to thank you after the event! So gather your fishing buddies, church group, family and friends and call to register.
