EVENTS

Education Center

The LPCWA has begun renovations of our office on Paint Creek Road to enable us to establish an Education Center.  The new Education Center will allow us to provide a classroom to educate Elementary school children about the importance of protecting our streams.  The LPCWA has applied for a West Virginia Stream Partners Grant 2009/2010 to help us continue the goal of establishing our Education Center.

Take a Kid Fishing Day

May 16th from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm

Working with Trout Unlimited, Equitable Productions (EQT) has  been the main sponsor of the Lower Paint Creek Watershed Association’s Take A Kid Fishing Day.  This is the fourth year we will put on this event.  In the first year over fifty kids participated in the event.  It has since grown to well over 100 participants.  Kids from four years old to  fourteen years old can participate.  We receive approximately 300 lbs. of trout from WV DNR.  The trout are stocked the night before the event.  Kids only are allowed to fish the next morning.  Hot dogs, snow cones, pop, and cotton candy are provided.  Gifts such as tackle boxes, fishing poles, etc. are awarded at the end of the event by drawing numbers.  Everyone is invited to attend.
