The Forestry Club, the
Pennsylvania Forestry Association and the South Mountain Partnership sponsored a panel discussion on Joseph Rothrock's conservation legacy last evening (3/27) at Penn State Mont Alto.
The speakers, pictured above, were Nancy Baker, Matthew Keefer, and Joseph
Barnard (seated l-r). Standing is Richard Lewis, the moderator from the
Pennsylvania Forestry Association.
Barnard spoke on the career and conservation activities of
Joseph Rothrock. Keefer described the conditions of Pennsylvania's forests
today and challenges for the future. Baker spoke of her family's experience
with and attachment to their 163 acre forest that they have owned for almost
140 years.
It was a fascinating program followed by some thought provoking discussion.
