Come join us and learn about the mysterious night life of bats. Bats can consume an enormous amount of mosquitoes and other crop damaging insects such as cutworms and moths. Bats are the only mammal that can truly fly! More than half of the bat species in the United States are in severe decline or listed as endangered. In addition to loss of habitat, one of the biggest threats comes from white nose syndrome, a disease that has decimated bats in the U.S. and Canada. Learn more interesting facts plus build a house for up to 100 bats. They make nice gifts also. On your registration form, please indicate the number of houses you wish to buy and add the cost to your registration fee. Please bring your own cordless drill if possible. We only have a limited supply of drills. Deadline to order materials is April 22nd. Or, you may just simply listen to the discussion and observe the building of the houses. Class limit is 15. To register visit: Montrose Area Adult School www.montroseadultschool.org. Click the Classes link. To see what classes are offered, click Nature and Country Living to see the Master Gardener classes. Simply mail the form to the Montrose Area Adult School. For more information or help registering call the Penn State Extension Office at 570-278-1158.
A class will be held Saturday, May 6, 2016 10:00am at St. Paul’s Church, Montrose , PA.
One of the joys of rural life is an evening at the farm pond with the kids or grand kids fishing, whether for everybody’s favorite panfish the bluegill or America’s game fish the large mouth bass. Perhaps you would like to fly-cast for rainbow trout or maybe an old fashion fish fry of channel catfish.
The Susquehanna County Conservation District would like to help these dreams by sponsoring a sale of fish for stocking on May 21, 2017. The District is offering bluegill sunfish, channel catfish, largemouth bass, rainbow trout, fathead minnows, triploid grass carp and ornamental koi. Most of the species are 4 to 6 inches so if you are stocking a pond with other fish in them they will not just be feed for the fish already there. We are also selling fathead minnows which are meant to be forage for predatory fish such as bass and catfish. They will increase the growth rate and final size of these fish. The triploid grass carp are stocked to control weeds in ponds.
These fish are 11 to 15 inches long and require a permit from the PA Fish and Boat Commission to buy and release. The permit is available on our website. Koi are available from 4” to 18” for garden ponds and as ornamental fish in other ponds where they can be hand fed. All these fish will be delivered to the Conservation District on May 21 at 1:00 pm. They come in a container of water and pure oxygen which can be loaded in any vehicle for the ride to their new home. This replaces the need for the buyer bringing milk cans or garbage cans of water from home and dumping the fish in them with a resulting decrease in fish survival. Deadline for ordering is May 17th. For more information contact the District at 570-278-4600 ext 3051; or look on the website www.suscondistrict.org.
