What DTU Does
04.
— We Educate
DTU has maintained an active education and
outreach schedule to promote conservation with all age groups in Lancaster County.
Included in this will be an improved website designed to educate, inform, and become a resource for environment educators and parents. As soon as life returns to normal we will resume in person activities.
05.
— Our Approach
Because the best conservation work is done by connecting landowners, agencies, non-profit organizations, and other stakeholders, most projects are soup-to-nut efforts. Each project is unique. In a typical year, DTU works with more than 50 cooperating organizations to identify conservation work that needs to be done, to work with landowners to find possible solutions, to assess watersheds, to develop engineering solutions, and to find necessary funding. All this planning and work on the ground is done to improve streams and buffer to the point where they can heal themselves. We get our hands dirty. We have the science to back up our claims.
06.
— Lifestyle
Chapter members sleep, breathe and occasionally even eat trout — and we love to talk about fishing . . . But our focus is on conservation. All members are volunteers, but we are known for all of the quality projects that we complete on time and under budget.
