Stroll with us through the fall foliage of Weiser State Forest during this year’s Walk in Penn’s Woods. As we walk through a five-year-old overstory removal, DCNR Forester Andy Brought will discuss this shelterwood /overstory removal system, which is the most common harvesting practice used on state forest land, one which can take 10-12 years. Having young forest is critically important for many nesting song bird and game species. A Manada Conservancy naturalist will be along to describe flora and fauna.

We will also check out the view from the overlook at the nearby hang gliding area. On a clear day, one can see Armstrong Valley and Berry’s Mountain all the way to the Susquehanna River.

The Walk is co-sponsored by Manada Conservancy and Dauphin County Woodland Owners Association. Check our website for directions and registration details.
