Do you have animals that make manure? Do you have a manure management plan? If not, here is your chance to get one – and get hands-on, in-person help with it, too.
The Susquehanna County Conservation District (SCCD) is hosting a Manure Management Plan Walk-In event on May 2nd, 2025, from 9:00am to 3:00pm at the SCCD office. This free event is open to anyone who owns livestock or poultry and needs a Manure Management Plan to meet Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) requirements.
All farm animal manure can be managed with a proper plan
A manure management plan is a great step to keeping water clean in your community. Attendees will receive copies of the official Manure Management Plan workbook and get guidance from SCCD staff to help them understand and complete the plan. Whether you're new to manure management or just need help getting your documentation in order, this walk-in event is the perfect opportunity to get it done, with support every step of the way.
No registration is required. Just stop in any time on May 2nd between 9:00am and 3:00pm and bring basic information about your animals and farm. No appointment is necessary. For more information, contact SCCD at 570-782-2105.
As glimpses of the Spring season appear across northeast Pennsylvania, gardeners are anxious to get their hands in the dirt. Pollinator-friendly flowers, culinary herbs, and family-favorite vegetables are just a few examples of what gardeners will discover at the Penn State Extension Master Gardeners of Susquehanna County's annual Spring Plant Sale.

Save the date on Saturday, May 10, 2025, 9:00am to 3:00pm, and visit the Penn State Extension office at 88 Chenango Street, Montrose, to browse and shop. Selecting plants and flowers of different heights, colors, and bloom times can add interest, diversity, and enjoyment to home landscapes. The Spring Plant Sale offers a selection of perennial and annual flowers for sun and shade, a variety of vegetable and herb seedlings, colorful combinations of blooms in hanging baskets, and assorted houseplants. Master Gardeners will be on hand to answer home gardening questions and provide tours of the Edible Education Garden. Penn State Extension soil test kits will also be available for purchase. The Spring Plant Sale accepts cash, checks, and credit card payments and is held rain or shine.
The Master Gardeners of Susquehanna County maintain several demonstration gardens, teach the Mr. Yuk Poison Prevention curriculum to area first-grade students, staff an education outreach exhibit during the Harford Fair, help with conservation projects in the community, deliver presentations to small groups, teach the Seed to Supper beginner vegetable gardening program, and present the annual Spring Garden Day event. Proceeds from the Spring Plant Sale help support these and other outreach activities.

The annual Spring Cleanup Day at Salt Springs Park is Saturday, April 26, begining at 9:00am.
The Friends are looking for volunteers to do spring clean-up at the Park. Volunteers will be rewarded with food, drinks, a T-shirt and a lovely park.
The tasks include clearing 15 miles of trails, cleaning the Wheaton House and other buildings, raking out flowerbeds and lawns, splitting firewood, prepping the park's vegetable garden and cleaning up the campgrounds.
The Friends' organization is the only nonprofit charity to actively manage a PA state park. In the 30 years the Friends have been in existence, they have doubled the size of the park and rebuilt the major buildings. Local support made it all possible. With volunteer help throughout the year, the Friends serve thousands of people without charging parking or admission and without receiving any operating funds from the state.
If you plan to attend, please register with the Friends so that sufficient supplies will be on hand: https://forms.gle/a5famNzeNRsN5Egh7.
Northern Tier Regional Planning and Development Commission and Trehab have collaborated once again to present "What's Next?" The goal of this event is to help graduating seniors and recent high school graduates in the Northern Tier Region determine "What's Next?" in their career path. Last year, this event was held in Bradford County and was impactful to those who participated. In an effort to make this event more accessible to students from across the region, it will be located in Susquehanna County this year and Tioga County next year.
Graduating seniors, recent graduates, and their support systems are invited to attend "What's Next?" on May 6th, 2025 at the Montrose Area Jr/Sr High School to learn about career services available to them after graduation from high school. The "What's Next?" event will feature brief presentations from Trehab, the PA CareerLink®, the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (OVR), the PA Apprenticeship Training Office, and the Employment Opportunity Center. Attendees will also have the opportunity to speak with each organization one-on-one to get more details and ask questions. Free pizza and refreshments will be provided.
"What's Next?" will take place in the gymnasium of the Montrose Area Jr/Sr High School. This event is open to all students in the Northern Tier, regardless of what school they attend or graduated from. Registration will begin at 5:30pm and the presentations will begin at 6:00pm. The event concludes at 7:30pm. Preregistration is encouraged but not required. For more information or to preregister, email chamberlain@northerntier.org.
