Take Action for Trout and Clean Water
Contact Your Legislators
Your elected officials need to hear from constituents like you—those who care deeply about healthy waterways and conservation. Whether it’s a pending bill or funding for habitat restoration, your input makes a real difference.
- Find your Pennsylvania Legislators and contact info.
- Write a Letter to the Editor
Want to raise awareness beyond your personal network? Letters to the editor are a powerful way to inform and engage your broader community about conservation issues that matter to you—and to Pennsylvania.
Use Social Media for Impact
Social media isn’t just for scrolling—it’s a platform for action. Research shows:
- Elected officials and their staff pay close attention to what’s being said online—especially when multiple constituents raise the same concern.
- As few as 10–30 similar comments on a social post can get an office’s attention.
- The sooner you comment on a legislative post, the more likely it is to be noticed.
Tip: Always identify yourself as a constituent and reference your town or county when posting.
Be an Informed Advocate
Being an effective advocate starts with staying engaged. Here’s how:
- Attend town halls, public meetings, and local office hours.
- Know who your local and national elected officials are.
- Stay informed about candidates’ stances on conservation issues—and VOTE.
- Use reliable, nonpartisan news sources.
- And always—ask questions and stay curious.
