DONEGAL FISH & CONSERVATION ASSOCIATION

“Caretakers of the Donegal Creek Watershed”

Mission Statement: “The Donegal Fish & Conservation Association is dedicated exclusively to the restoration, conservation and protection of the Donegal Creek Watershed and it’s wild trout population.”

Dear Friends of DFCA,

As most of you are probably aware, we are a nonprofit organization which is supported financially by membership sales and our fundraising events along with contributions and grants from several different conservation groups, government agencies, and civic organizations. Through these sources we are able to raise the funds to complete stream projects, meet our everyday expenses, perform maintenance, feed the hatchery fish, and organize special events like our annual kid’s fishing derby. What you may not know is that, in addition to substantial cooperation from the Donegal Creek landowners, the Lancaster Conservation District, the PA Fish and Boat Commission, and the Donegal School District, the backbone of the DFCA is represented entirely by volunteers. We are very proud of the vision, hard work, and achievements of the past 30+ years and want to thank all of you for your support and dedication. As we look toward the future we are actively seeking to further develop our pool of volunteers so that we can meet our anticipated goals. We invite each of you to attend our monthly meetings which are held at 7pm on the third Monday of every month at the Donegal High School faculty lounge. Please drop in and see what we do! Also, we are creating a “phone tree” in order to keep everyone informed of upcoming work plans, stream enhancement projects, and regular maintenance needs. If you wish to add yourself to the volunteer list please contact one of the officers below (this is also a great opportunity for scout, school, and other civic projects). We look forward to another successful year and we thank you again for your continued support.
