To promote safe kayaking and fishing practices in our communities and beyond, we are working on creating a compilation of resources from organizations such as the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, the American Canoe Association, the Susquehanna Greenway Partnership and other places, including some of our own stories​.
