SOLD OUT as of 9/13/24
We are planning our “always popular” field tour of abandoned mine lands, reclamation, and AMD remediation sites for Tuesday, October 22nd @ 8AM-3:30PM. If you would like to go, you will need to purchase a separate field tour registration from the registration page.
The tour will be limited based on the number of available seats. Registrations for the field tour are first come, first serve and often sell out before the regular registration deadline. These are not automatically included with sponsorship.
The tour will feature an AMD treatment system (Deer Creek PTS), a reclaimed mineland with solar panels near Schoolhouse Road, a mine site in the process of reclamation (Mineral Basin) and one more site we will leave a mystery for now. It will be a full day tour and participants are encouraged to wear appropriate clothing for Central Pennsylvania weather in October and comfortable shoes as some sites require a little walking on uneven terrain. A boxed lunch and snacks will be provided as a part of the tour.
