Registration open for new West Branch kayaking, fishing HERYN program day for kids set for July 105/7/2024 The popularity of the Middle Susquehanna Riverkeeper Association's HERYN (Helping Engage our River's Youth with Nature) kayaking and fishing program days and recent development of a West Branch Regional Director position has led to a new West Branch HERYN program opportunity to be held July 10 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Bald Eagle State Park's Blanchard Lake near Howard. The program will take place at Bald Eagle State Park’s Sayer Dam Beach at Pavilions 6 and 7. The registration for participants will be capped at 20 participants and participants will be split into 2 groups of 10. The program will contain three main program elements: Kayaking, fishing and pond ecology. Participants should be between the ages of 9 and 14 and will be learning the fundamentals of kayaking and fishing, as well as gaining a sense of environmental stewardship through watershed conservation. The program is offered free to participants and all equipment is provided. Participants are required to pack their own lunch, bring a refillable water bottle, sunscreen and an extra change of clothing as well as appropriate footwear for watersports (ideally hard-soled water shoes). Registration is capped at 20 participants and will be filled in a first-registered, first-secured order using the following form. Once we have the initial online registration, a more in-depth registration packet will be emailed out. If you have any questions, contact our West Branch HERYN coordinator Andrew Bechdel at MSRKAWestBranch@gmail.com.
