Tickets are still available in three of six Floating Classroom sessions set up for this summer aboard the Hiawatha Paddleboat in Williamsport.

On Tuesday, Aug. 10, from 10-11 a.m.​, Master Naturalist Jon Beam and other guests will present an overview of the various common fish species within our watershed and the threats they face. On Tuesday, Sept. 7, hellbender specialist Dr. Peter Petokas will talk amphibians found within our region with a focus on the hellbender. On Tuesday, Sept. 21, we will take a deep dive into the microplastic issue focusing on recent research and the science behind it.
