  • FALL FOLIAGE REPORT October 1 – October 7, 2020
    Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Bureau of Forestry PENNSYLVANIA WEEKLY FALL FOLIAGE REPORT October 1 – October 7, 2020 TIOGA CAMERON BRADFORD To predict peak season from the colors, use these guidelines: ➢ Dark Green/No Change= peak is three weeks to a month away ➢ Light Green/Starting to Change= peak is approximately two to three weeks away ➢ Yellow/Approaching Best Color= peak is approximately one week away ➢ Orange/Best Color= foliage is peaking this week ➢ Red/Starting to Fade= still some nice color but won’t last more than a few more days ➢ Brown/Past Peak= all or nearly all color is gone Statewide Fall Foliage Overview What a difference a week makes! Cold and frosty nights and very dry conditions have ushered in marked changes across the northern tier, where foliage is at its spectacular peak. Sugar and red maples are the stars of the show, contrasting beautifully with the still-green oak canopies. Another cold snap could jumpstart much of the Appalachian and Allegheny mountain regions, setting the table for back to back weeks of fantastic fall foliage viewing opportunities across wide swaths of the commonwealth. Northwestern Region The district manager in Cornplanter State Forest District (Warren, Erie counties) reports that cooler nights have spurred fall colors in northwest Pennsylvania. Many oaks are still quite green, but maples (sugar and red) are displaying brilliant colors. Aspen, hickory, and birch are continuing to color the landscape with warm yellow hues. Route 6 to Chapman State Park is a recommended fall foliage corridor in Warren County. Exciting fall color can be found at Chapman State Park.

  • Pennsylvania Happy Places
    ( ) Finding Outside Insights from the People Who Know Pennsylvania’s State Parks and Forests DCNR.PA.gov 1845 Market Street | Suite 202 Camp Hill, PA 17011 717.236.7644 PAParksandForests.org Penn’s Woods is full of the kinds of places that make people happy. At the Pennsylvania Parks and Forests Foundation we discover this each year when we announce our annual Parks and Forests Through the Seasons photo contest and marvel as your breath-taking entries roll in. And we hear it every day when we talk to the hard-working men and women who earn their daily bread in one of the hundreds of different occupations throughout the parks and forests system. We see the pride they take in their work—and the joy they experience in being outside every day in the places we all love. On the occasion of this 2018 Giving Tuesday, we are delighted to share some of their favorite places. Maybe one of them will become your happy place as well! Visit DCNR.PA.gov for the state park or forest mentioned in this booklet. Drop us a line at [email protected] or visit our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/PennsylvaniaParksAndForestsFoundation) and let us know what you find Out There. #PAParks&ForestsHappyPlace I’m drawn to rock outcroppings, hence my attraction to several hiking opportunities in the Michaux State Forest. Sunset Rocks Trail (https://www.purplelizard.com/blogs/news/ camp-michaux-and-sunset-rocks-history-vistas-and-more-in-michaux- state-forest), a spur to the Appalachian Trail, rewards the intrepid hiker with amazing views along a rocky spine.

  • UPLIFT Newsletter M Ay 2 0 19
    The United Presbyterian Church of Blairsville, PA UPLIFT Newsletter M ay 2 0 19 It was the day after Easter. Bobbi and I ran into a friend at Rite Aid. “So, you’re out getting your medicine?” he asked. “No” I replied, “I’m out getting my discounted chocolate candy.” To some, Easter is about receiving the power of God that renews us and makes us whole. To others, its about getting a cheap sugar high. To some its about resounding the Alleluias. To others its about an eyeful of pastel col- ors and a nose-full of fragrant blooms. But whatever it is, it sadly seems to eventually fade. There were those four glorious years of my childhood (before my sister was born) that I had the delight of being the only grandchild. Grandma doted on her “honey boy” and Pappy Moe spoiled me rotten. Each Easter, he would buy a dozen or so little chicks that had been dyed pink and yellow and blue and green. I would giggle and bounce as they ran around me. But within a couple days all the chicks would die (probably from the coloring that had been put on their feathers) and all I was left with was a memory. One place we get it wrong is when we think of Easter as a one day celebration—God’s victory neatly packed into a twenty-four hour box. According to our liturgical calendar, Easter is a season fifty days long in which we celebrate the forty days Jesus spent time with the disciples, then ascended into heaven and the faithful waited patiently for the coming of the Spirit.
