Kelly Williams of the Clearfield County Conservation District received the 2023 PA Wilds Champion Award for Conservation Stewardship. In addition to stream work and protecting wetlands, Williams was involved in the effort to improve water quality in the Deer Creek Watershed, which was impaired by Acid Mine Drainage and had not been able to support any aquatic life for over 70 years. Wild trout can now be supported in this beautiful area of the PA Wilds, thanks to efforts of Williams and her colleagues at Clearfield County Conservation District.
Williams is a past recipient of the Golden Reel Award from the Allegheny Mountain Chapter of Trout Unlimited. The PA Wilds Champion Award was presented by Matt Marusiak, PA Wilds Center Board Member.
