A Brief Overview...
Strawberry Hill Nature Preserve is a private nonprofit education and conservation institution located in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Pennsylvania. Strawberry Hill's mission is to connect our community with the natural world by teaching, inspiring, and promoting environmental stewardship. The 609-acre preserve features a variety of habitats to explore, including wet and dry woodlands, three ponds, two pristine mountain streams, and much more.
General Information
This trip will be focused on helping Strawberry Hill Nature Preserve in the pursuit of its mission by rehabilitation of local trails that might potentially connect to the Appalachian Trail. During this trip, the group will be self contained, meaning they will camp in tents and will cook their own food on stoves. They will not have access to facilities or vehicles for four days.
Facilitators
Sam Potter '11, Anna Ramsey '12 and Melissa Arsenie '10 will be the leaders for this trip.
