The Pennsylvania Game Commission recently received the Chestnut Ridge Chapter of Trout Unlimited's "Coldwater Conservationist of the Year Award" at its annual banquet in Uniontown, Fayette County, in recognition of the agency's partnership in helping to address acid mine discharge in local watersheds.
As a result of the partnership, national Trout Unlimited honored the Chestnut Ridge Chapter of TU, headquartered in Uniontown, with the Silver Trout Award for 2006. The Silver Trout Award recognizes nationally significant efforts by local chapters in coldwater conservation. Only one other TU chapter in the United States achieved a higher rating than Chestnut Ridge during 2006.
