On PA's public lands, PMSC members steward trail systems, remove invasive species, stabilize stream banks, plant native trees and other species, maintain trails, and clean up illegal dumping. Along PA's public waterways, PMSC members collect water quality data, patrol for illegal dumping, improve water quality, and upgrade aquatic habitats.
