From Ed Callahan, District Forester, Forbes State Forest:

This will be our first Volunteer Day of 2024. We will focus on maintenance needs north of the Turnpike. We will be re-armoring the flat section of Spruce Run on top of the ridge where it connects to Towhee Trail. We also need to install a few water bars on the steeper section of the trail. 

We will meet at 9:30 am, at the Warming Hut on Laurel Summit Road. From Route 30, take Laurel Summit Rd about 2.5 miles, and the Warming Hut will be on your left. 

Wear long pants, boots, leather gloves, hat or hardhat, eye protection, and ear protection. Please pack a container for water, and bring snacks or a lunch. It is also a good idea to bring sunblock. 

Also please register as a DCNR conservation volunteer, if you have not already done so.
