AGES is partnering with the Iron Furnace Chapter of Trout Unlimited (TU) and Millcreek Township to conduct a watershed assessment of Cathers Run in northern Clarion County.   Cathers Run discharges into the Clarion River immediately downstream of Cooksburg (PA) and is classified by Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission as a high-quality coldwater fishery supporting native brook trout reproduction.  Iron Furnace TU was awarded a grant from The Coldwater Heritage Partnership to characterize and quantify current conditions in Cathers Run and its tributaries.  The Coldwater Heritage Partnership is a cooperative initiative amongst Pennsylvania Trout Unlimited, the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, and the Foundation for Pennsylvania Watersheds that provides grants to local organizations to protect and conserve Pennsylvania’s coldwater streams.   Digital land use mapping, water quality monitoring, in-stream and riparian habitat surveys, and fish community investigations will be completed to identify, design, and develop conservation activities to enhance and protect Cathers Run.  AGES staff will begin assessment activities in April 2012 with project completion by August 2013.
