Join in the Statewide Walk In Penn's Woods on Sunday Oct 1
2023-10-01 13:00 - 16:00 | Durham Township Hall, 215 Old Furnace Rd., Durham, PA, 18039
PA Forestry Association | About our local Walk In Penn’s Woods
Visit the historic Durham Furnace and Mill in the agricultural valley carved by the cold waters of Cooks Creek in Upper Bucks County. Meet with other hikers and your hosts at the Durham Mill, then walk 3 plus miles through old oak forest to the iron mines that fed the furnace and began the iron and steel story that led to the legacy of Bethlehem Steel. Learn about charcoal production and reading forest history as well as threats to today’s forests. See the impacts of invasive species and learn about the value of diverse habitat. The hike is strenuous, ground is steep and trails uneven. Hikers should come prepared: sturdy shoes/boots, long pants are advised.
Meet at Durham Mill/Township Hall, 215 Old Furnace Rd. Durham PA; Township Hall lot or street parking nearby. We will gather at the Mill entrance and walk up to the site trailhead.
This walk is not recommended for wheelchairs or strollers due to the terrain. Pets are not permitted.
Please RSVP with your group size to: Cmartin@wildlandspa.org

Fry's Run Watershed Assn. -- Family Fun for Children and Adults
2023-09-16 10:00 - 14:00 | Fry’s Run Park, corner of 611 South and Royal Manor Rd., Williams Township, PA, United States
Saturday, September 16, 2023, 10 AM to 2 PM, offers healthy outdoor activities for young and old, children and parents alike. Activities begin at Fry’s Run County Park, corner of 611 South and Royal Manor Rd. in Williams Township, PA.

At the park homebase, they’ll find a plethora of native plants for sale — monarda, mountain mint, phlox, ginger, blue lobelia, native coral honeysuckle among others – as well as shrubs and trees like sweet birch, elderberry, red twig dogwood, and redbud.

Visitors will learn firsthand at Fry’s Run how to preserve a stream by examining everything they can catch in a net (from crayfish to stoneflies). Kids can express their impressions about the pollinator plants and macroinvertebrates they’ll see in the stream, guided by artists Mary and Don.

Honey bee culture will be demonstrated by Matt, who reminds us that foraging bees must collect nectar from approximately 2 million flowers to make a single pound of honey. Joining the activities is a member of Trout Unlimited, who will show how to do fly- tying. And Didi and Eileen will entertain the children during 11 AM story hour.

At 11 AM at a nearby property visitors will see how and where a stream begins its flow to the Delaware River, guided by biologist Lorraine — what challenges a stream meets, what impediments it overcomes.

Admission free, the program welcomes everyone. Rain date Sunday, September 17.
For information: call 610 253 8951.
