Throughout the years, the Mountain Laurel Chapter of Trout Unlimited has received several awards for its conservation and preservation efforts, in Southwestern Pennsylvania. We have worked with local, state, and Federal organizations to rehabilitate damaged watersheds, create recreational hot spots, and to preserve the natural resources of the region. In addition to receiving awards, we have also provided awards to local groups and individuals whose efforts align with our own. We have worked with schools, grass-roots organizations, and area youth groups to recognize individuals who have contributed to the enrichment of our region. Here, we wish to share some of those awards and encourage others to take a personal responsibility for this wonderful area.
