As summer kicks into high gear across Pennsylvania, outdoor recreation is as popular as ever, with boaters and anglers taking advantage of the commonwealth’s 86,000 miles of waterways.
Joining Sen. Kristin Phillips-Hill (R-York) for this episode is Dr. Timothy Schaefer, Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission. They discuss an upcoming collaboration that will bring a waterway conservation officer to two mobile office hour events in June (June 4 and June 18) across southern York County. They also review how the commission uses revenue from licenses—rather than the state’s General Fund—to invest in the future of fishing and boating in Pennsylvania. Finally, they cover the commission’s efforts to engage the next generation of anglers through educational outreach.
