First Day Hike
January 1, 2020
Thanks to those who joined the Friends of Cook Forest with a hike along the picturesque Tom’s Run Valley.
65 people (and a handful of pups!) walked Liggett Trail, including Secretary of the DCNR Cindy Adams Dunn and
State Representative Donna Oberlander. The clouds parted just about the time the hike began, with the
sun shining on the snow-covered trees - breathtaking!

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.
