🌳 Erie County’s outdoor spaces are leveling up! 🌳

More than $828,000 in Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources funding is coming to our community to expand parks, plant trees, protect natural areas, and upgrade recreational spaces across the county!

This funding helps keep Erie green, active, and connected to the outdoors — boosting community health, recreation, and conservation for years to come. 🌿💚

Now through mid-December, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) will be conducting its fall and winter trout stocking at dozens of waterways across the Commonwealth.

PFBC will stock approximately 114,700 hatchery-raised adult Rainbow, Brown and Brook Trout in 117 stream sections and lakes. These stockings will replenish some of the most popular fishing spots across the Commonwealth and provide ice fishing opportunities as conditions allow throughout the winter. Trout stocked during fall and winter can be fished immediately.

The Pennsylvania Department of Human Services has announced important updates that will help more families access healthy food. SNAP income limits and benefit amounts are increasing, meaning more Pennsylvanians may now qualify for support — and current recipients could see a boost in their monthly benefits.

These changes are designed to better reflect the rising cost of living and ensure that children, seniors, and households across the Commonwealth can afford nutritious meals.
