SUMMARY:March Hike - Diakon Wilderness Easement
DESCRIPTION:Come meet with Central Pennsylvania Conservancy staff on South Mountain for a moderately-paced\, 2.5-mile loop hike Wednesday at 4pm!  Learn how public and private organizations work together to preserve local land\, and explore some trails and protected lands symbolic of these important partnerships. The loop will take hikers across a CPC-protected trail\, paths on state game lands\, and a brief stint on the Appalachian Trail. Attendees are encouraged to wear orange or bright colors.  \nThe trailhead is located near the Diakon Wilderness Greenhouse on Little Dogwood Run\, at the following coordinates: \n40.12070855987833\, -77.11992567977734 \n  \n\n  \nAbout Cameron Weiser: \nCameron Weiser is the Central Pennsylvania Conservancy’s Land Protection Director\, and works with the organization’s Land Protection Committee to develop new project\, set project priorities\, and secure project funding. Over the last four years in his role\, Cameron has worked with public and private partners to organize and navigate complex real estate transactions and establish new protected lands for conservation and recreation across central PA. \n  \nCPC and Diakon Wilderness Easement: \nThe Diakon Youth Services Wilderness Center sits on a 169-acre wooded property\, surrounded by PA State Game Lands 305 on three sides and the Appalachian Trail Corridor on its eastern boundary. Little Dogwood Run\, a tributary of Conodoguinet Creek\, runs through the property. \nChildren navigate a high ropes course\, balancing on wooden beams and a suspended canoe\, surrounded by trees and blue skies. \n140 acres of the Diakon property is forested\, offering an undisturbed view of woodland from the adjacent Appalachian Trail and Center Point Knob\, a short distance away. The remaining area is the Diakon campus. The mission of the Diakon Wilderness Center is “Nurturing change and growth in youths\, families\, and communities.” With that mission in mind\, the Diakon Wilderness Center facilitates programs that enrich young peoples’ lives including the Center Point Day Program\, Wilderness Greenhouse and Native Plant Nursery\, and Youthful Offenders Program. The latter program gives students a chance to engage in alternative and outdoor education\, connecting them to positive experiences that encourage self-growth. The Greenhouse and Native Plant Nursery offer a variety of forbs\, shrubs\, and trees native to Pennsylvania. Diakon’s dedicated staff guide students in the care of the nursery stock which are sold seasonally. \nWhile the Diakon property is generally not open to the public\, each year Diakon hosts an Outdoor Adventure Challenge\, a 5km trail run. The Wilderness Greenhouse and Native Plant Nursery also have seasonal public open hours. The conservation easement held by CPC includes a trail easement that provides a section of public access that connects State Game Lands 305 and the Appalachian Trail.

SUMMARY:February Photo Hike
DESCRIPTION:Join us on the last Saturday of February to enjoy a beautiful hidden gem in Dauphin County.  This guided photo hike led by Tim Bennett will include 3.5-mile figure-eight loop hike through DCNR State Park land. This is a moderately difficult and paced hike with 700′ of elevation gain to the ridgetop and the Appalachian Trail. Sturdy hiking shoes\, microspikes\, and trekking poles are highly recommended.  It is the last day of small game hunting season for most species\, so please wear orange. \nYou do not need to bring a camera- we will be using our phones to capture photos.  Throughout the hike\, Tim will provide pointers and tips to attendees on how to best capture nature photos and great outdoor images. \n  \nAbout Time Bennett: \nTim Bennett is a hiker\, backpacker\, photographer\, and wilderness paddler who has long dreamed of adventure. Following a distinguished career as an internationally recognized author and educator in ophthalmic imaging\, he set out to chase his biggest adventure dream: retracing his late father’s 1937 footsteps on Vermont’s Long Trail. The unlikely adventure that followed is chronicled in his debut memoir\, One Mountain After Another. \nHis writing has appeared in the Long Trail News and on the backpacking site\, The Trek. Leveraging decades of teaching and public speaking experience\, he shares his personal hiking journey and the history of long-distance hiking trails to local and national audiences. When not off chasing wilderness adventures\, he lives in Lancaster\, Pennsylvania\, and dreams of where the trail might lead him next. \n  \nCPC and Ibberson Conservation Area: \nThis 93-acre tract\, located in Halifax Twp\, Dauphin County\, was preserved by the Central Pennsylvania Conservancy in 2015 then later transferred to Department of Conservation and Natural Resources to be preserved for public use and enjoyment.  It is now part of the Memorial Lake State Park Complex\, managed by Park Manager Courtney Troutman. \n\n
