The PA AMR Conference is the longest-running annual environmental conference in Pennsylvania focused on abandoned mine reclamation and the associated issues our communities face. The PA AMR Conference provides a forum for the dissemination of information and encourages discussion between industry, watershed groups, and decision-makers that can help to further innovations in public policy, abandoned mine reclamation, and restoration of PA’s watersheds and communities.
The PA AMR Conference Committee will host the 2024 conference at the Ramada Inn and Conference Center in State College, PA from October 22-24, 2024. Visit the PA AMR Conference website for up to date information.
