More than 50 learn about hellbender research and awareness on Hiawatha's Aug. 6 Floating Classroom8/6/2024  The Middle Susquehanna Riverkeeper Association hosted its fourth public Floating Classroom of the 2024 summer season on Tuesday, Aug. 6, with a hellbender theme aboard the Hiawatha Paddleboat in Williamsport More than 50 people participated in the program which included a lower-level presentation by Matt Kaunert, of Lycoming College's Clean Water Institute, and two of his students, on their current hellbender research and nest box efforts. On the upper level, Middle Susquehanna Riverkeeper John Zaktansky and association Board President Michael Kinney talked about various efforts to bring awareness to the species, including videos, songs, art projects, legal cases and where things stand with potential protections for a species that has seen a massive reduction in habitat across the greater watershed. The next Floating Classroom is scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 13, from 10-11 a.m. and will feature invasive plants and pollinators/beekeeping.
