DCNR Conservation & Natural Resources Advisory Council To Hear About State Parks, Forests Infrastructure Needs Report Jan. 23

The DCNR Conservation and Natural Resources Advisory Council is scheduled to meet on January 23 and on the agenda is a State Parks and Forests infrastructure needs report by Marci Mowery from the PA Parks and Forests Foundation.

Last May, the PA Parks and Forest Foundation published a preview of its forthcoming report on State Park and Forest infrastructure needs entitled The Legacy of Pennsylvania’s State Parks and Forests: The Future Is In Our Hands.

The preview said the report identifies more than $1 billion in state park and forest infrastructure needs, which range from bridges to wastewater treatment facilities, from dams to invasive plant removal, and from roads to trails.

The meeting will be held in Room 105 of the Rachel Carson Building in Harrisburg starting at 10:00.
