Recreation
We are here to provide opportunities for exemplary natural resource management, education, and demonstration consistent with the mission of the School of Forest Resources. The lands are managed for multiple resources and benefits, including timber, wildlife, water, recreation, aesthetics, cultural resources, and unique natural resources. In all endeavors, serve as a model for other forest landowners and natural resource managers by applying up-to-date science-based, biologically sound, and financially feasible natural resource management practices.
The simple recipes in the Hike for Health series were designed for young people to make ahead of time. Most recipes will only take you 10 to 20 minutes to prepare. Follow the step-by-step directions and you will have a healthy snack to enjoy during your hike. Making food yourself with a little help from an adult is a great way to learn about food and meal preparation.
As Penn State's nature center, our experienced faculty and staff teach courses for Penn State students and provide environmentally sound programming for schools, children, youth, teachers, and the community.
