A Walk In Penns Woods

A Walk In Penns Woods

Join Endless Mountains Heritage Region as we celebrate our second year of participating in A Walk in Penns Woods! Started by the PA Forestry Association, A Walk in Penn’s Woods is a state-wide initiative to get residents of Pennsylvania in the woods on Sunday, Oct. 4, an annual event. A Walk in Penns Woods teaches participants how their local woods function and gives them an understanding and new appreciation for wildlife.

Hikers should wear appropriate clothing and footwear (hiking shoes or boots) and have a sufficient supply of water with them. This hike will be during archery hunting season, and we ask that you please bring an orange vest or shirt with you.

This event will start at 11 a.m. at Mokoma Conservancy in Sullivan County, just outside of LaPorte. The mileage for this hike will be approximately 3 miles. Please meet at 6 Gate Road, LaPorte, Pa 18626 on or before 11 a.m. During the hike, participants will hear from Mokoma Conservancy staff, updating them about what programs Mokoma offers. Participants have the option of meeting for dinner at a local restaurant following the hike.

Please register by Thursday, Oct. 1, for the hike.
