Preserving Nature's Balance Since 1966
Join the Tobyhanna Conservation Association in protecting our lands, waters, and wildlife for future generations.
STREAM WATER QUALITY TESTING
Each year we contract with an aquatic testing firm to take samples of stream water at specific locations. A laboratory analysis is performed to determine if water quality allows growth of macroinvertebrates in the stream.
LITTER PICK UP
The Club is responsible for litter pickup on over 7 miles of roads. Our area encompasses Lakeside Drive, Maple Avenue and Rt. 423 from Main Street in Tobyhanna to Rt. 196. We pick up in April and October each year. The club has been participating in the PA Adopt-A Highway program for over 10 years.
FISH STOCKING
Each year members assist the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission in stocking area streams. We have been doing this since 1989. By using a small truck we are able to distribute the fish over a larger stream area rather than putting them only in areas the large hatchery trucks can reach.
CHRISTMAS TREE RECYCLING
We provide an area behind the club house on Lakeside Drive for towns people to place their Christmas Trees when they take them down. Notices are placed in the local paper advising residents of this service. We average about 35 trees per year. They are hauled to an area wood lot and piled to provide winter cover for small game and birds.
SPECIAL REGULATION FISHING AREA MAINTENANCE
This area is maintained by club Members. This involves cutting grass and weeds, litter pick up and general policing of the area. We are also responsible for repairs to the decks as needed to insure the safety of certain handicapped individuals while using the decks.

Thank you to everyone who came out to experience the century-old ice industry on Saturday. We were especially impressed with the hundreds of visitors who braved the single-digit temperatures, cold wind and snow, similar to what the old-time ice harvesters had to...
2023 Trout Stocking
We were happy to help the PA Fish and Boat Commission stock the local streams with plenty of trout.
