The public is invited to the spring meeting of the South Mountain Partnership on May 3 at the Penn State Fruit Research and Extension Center in Biglerville, Adams County from 9:00 a.m. to Noon.

Attendees will learn about the Pennsylvania’s Chesapeake Bay Watershed Implementation Plan efforts taking place in Adams, York and other counties in the region, find out how the Keystone 10 Million Trees Partnership helps improve local water quality, find out what the Appalachian Trail Conservancy’s Wild East Initiative is all about, and have a chance to network with colleagues from across the South Mountain region.

“Anyone interested in making the South Mountain region a better place to live, work, and play is encouraged to attend the spring meeting,” said Katie Hess, Director of the South Mountain Partnership.  “There will be plenty of time to meet new people, reconnect with old friends, and learn something interesting in the process. It’s all about celebrating the South Mountain and what we, collectively, can do to help.”

The cost of the event is just $5, which includes a light breakfast (pastries and fruit) and beverages (tea, coffee and juice). An optional lunch can be added for $10 more. All attendees must register in advance at by April 22.
