Walk with Friends - 7/30/22
Grab a friend & a bottle of water and "Walk with Friends"
in the Forest Cathedral!
July 30, 2022, 10am-12pm
Join Friends of Cook Forest for a guided hike in the Forest Cathedral. We'll meet at the Log Cabin Environmental Center and car pool to the starting point to walk a 2 mile loop of the Old Logging Road and the Rhododendron Trail. We'll see some spectacular trees, hopefully hear thrushes and warblers, and talk about some of the invasive plants to be seen along the way. (2hrs)
People/pet friendly leashed pets welcome!
Please bring water for yourself and your dog. (next walk-September)

Thank you to those who joined the Friends for the first Adopt-A-Highway litter pick-up on October 19, 2019 of our newly adopted 2 mile section of Forest Road. If you missed this volunteer opportunity, look for another litter pick-up in the spring. The Friends plan to clear their section of Forest Road twice a year-in spring and fall. Watch our website, Facebook and enews for upcoming dates/times. |

In June we hosted our Annual Fundraiser, Forest Fest, with a bake sale, raffle basket drawings, 50/50 and an educational program "The Owls of Pennsylvania" (complete with owl mounts!) presented by Cook Forest State Park Environmental Educational Specialist, Dale Luthringer. Dale also engaged the group in making owl calls. A showing of the Cathedral: The Fight to Save the Ancient Hemlocks of Cook Forest was shown in the evening. Deer Meadows Campground hosted the event.
Please check back for other upcoming events including guided hikes and work days that can really help our State Park!
