There are 26 new stories in this week’s PA Environment Digest -- actually a lot more-- that show leadership from farmers, high school students, Girl Scouts, county officials, watershed groups, anglers, neighborhood farmers, volunteer Naturalists, river towns and foresters.
There are many, many more people just like these working all across Pennsylvania to restore and protect the environment and show others the beauty that surrounds us.
Thank you for your leadership!
