WCCD garden plots

The sixteen garden plots at the Hatch Run Conservation Demonstration Area are going fast.

“The Warren County Conservation District announces the availability of sixteen garden plots at the Hatch Run Conservation Demonstration Area located on Hatch Run Road north of Warren,” WCCD Resource Conservationist Amanda Frederick said. ” The gardens serve as a place for families to have a garden of their own which is an excellent opportunity to get your children involved in the outdoors, get your hands dirty, and grow some of your own produce.”

“The Community Gardens were created in 2008 with 10 plots and have gradually expanded over the years,” Frederick said. “The plots are 25-feet by 25-feet. The Conservation District charges $25 for each plot to offset the costs of materials for the layout and preparation of the garden plots.”

For more information, contact Amanda Frederick at (814) 726-1441 or afrederick@wcconservation.net.

Plots will be assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Forest health field day

The Allegheny Forest Health Collaborative is hosting its annual field media day on May 15.

The field day will showcase the collaborative efforts of how many federal, state, county, local, private and public organizations are working together to solve complex forest health issues that impact forest landowners across northwestern and North Central Pennsylvania.

The field day will begin at 10 a.m. with a comprehensive overview of the Allegheny Forest Health Collaborative at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford, which will focus on the threats to the health of Pennsylvania forests and the collaborative solutions we are developing to solve them.

Attendees will then head to the woods for a field site visit at the Bradford Watershed Authority where you will see first-hand the forest health issues landowners across northwestern Pennsylvania are facing and how private forest companies are finding solutions.

Following lunch at the Marilla Reservoir, attendees will head to a final stop in the field, hosted by the USDA Forest Service on the Allegheny National Forest. Here you will see first-hand similar problems that the Forest Service is facing and how a collaborative partnership approach is allowing sharing of information and development of common solutions that promote shared stewardship among forest managers.

There will be opportunities for photographs, interviews, and content for stories.

This event will occur rain or shine so dress appropriately for the field. Lunch will be provided.

To reserve your spot, email Cliff Lane at cdlane@mckeancountypa.org no later than May 8.
