Event Type

Mike and Laura have requested cancellation of this program due to an unexpectedly large amount of work required on their grounds this spring after a damaging winter. Please check back in the fall for a re-scheduled date. Join us for a tour of Mike and Laura Jackson’s mountainside property south of Everett, PA. The nature walk will last from 10:00 AM to noon. Highlights will include exploring the native wildflower gardens and bird watching along the trails. Participants will also see how a recent shelter wood cut will provide better habitat for early successional species such as woodcock, whip-poor-wills, and golden-winged warblers. Wear sturdy walking shoes, bring a lunch and drink. Directions: Take I-99 South to the Everett exit. Follow Rt. 30 East for about 8 miles. Take the exit for Business Rt. 30 into Everett. Turn right onto 5th Ave. and cross a bridge over the Raystown Branch. If you pass the Everett Food liner you have gone too far. Then make an immediate right onto Black Valley Road. After 2.5 miles, turn right onto a gravel road labeled “The Jackson’s.” Follow this lane for 0.5 miles and watch for parking signs.
