Change of plans and a call to action…

This coming Tuesday May 26th, was originally scheduled to be our last Chapter ‘meeting’ for the season (Fishing the Evening Hatch), but in light of some new information, the ‘meeting’ will be canceled.  

The Bethlehem Planning Commission will be hearing a waiver request from the developer of the planned housing subdivision off of Township Line RD (Autumn Estates), and in lieu of fishing, the Chapter would ask that if your are able, you attend the Bethlehem Township Planning Commission Meeting Tuesday, May 26, at 7:00 PM at the Municipal Building located at 4225 Easton Ave, Bethlehem, PA. The meeting will also be in a virtual format on Zoom: meeting ID number 822 4371 5829, passcode 837600.

This is a major concern for the future health of the creek, and we should make our voices heard when given the chance.  Here is some more detailed information as outlined in a previous post: LINK

If you feel the need to fish instead, we get it, but PLEASE make an effort to reach out to the planning commission as outlined in the post linked above.  Thank you, enjoy your summer and see you in the Fall!
