Pennypack Creek
Southeastern Montgomery County TU Chapter # 468
- conserving, educating, protecting and restoring the Pennypack Creek Watershed -
1. To conserve, protect and restore our local cold water streams and fisheries and their watersheds.
2. To study, understand and enhance our wild trout resources.
3. To pass on our love and knowledge for the sport to the next generation of anglers in our area. This is done by person-to-person
interactions, by group participation at meetings and activities and with partnership with other local organizations during
community fishing derbies and stream cleanup days.
About our Chapter
The Southeastern Montgomery County of Trout Unlimited, Chapter # 468, located in the Huntingdon Valley
area of Southeastern Pennsylvania is committed to preserving wild and native trout streams, restoring, repairing and enhencing
trout streams and rivers, and the habitats that support these waters. The goal is to ensure their survival
for future generations of fishermen and others who care about and realize the importance of healthy
watersheds to the entire ecosystem.
Our monthly meetings are held regularly at the Pennypack Ecological Restoration Trust Visitor's Center
at 2955 Edge Hill Road in Huntingdon Valley, PA, at 7:30 PM every second Tuesday of each month. At Trout
Unlimited meetings we discuss conservation issues, plan stream cleanup days, stream restoration projects and work days on
our home waters, such as, the Pennypack Creek and other streams in this watershed. We also plan and organize fundraisers
and sponsor programs such as "Fish with a Friend", for members in search of fishing partners, educational programs such
as fly fishing clinics
and participate in local youth fishing derbies. Other Chapter activities include fly tying and rod building seminars,
field stream studies, guest speakers and educational slides and videos. Our Chapter also takes annual trips to Penns Creek
and other renowned trout fisheries throughout the State.

Our TU Chapter has initiated "Project Headwaters" for our home stream,the
Pennypack Creek, located near Welsh and Mann Roads in Horsham, Pennsylvania.
We have planted approximately 800 bushes and trees at this location to date.
Our TU Chapter provided the leadership and obtained funds for the planting of
hundreds of trees and bushes on the Natural Lands Trust Property in the
headwater springs of Pennypack Creek.
