Program accomplishments
- THE THEME FOR 2025 WAS "TRAILS", WHICH CELEBRATED THE 11,000 MILES OF TRAILS WE HAVE IN THE STATE PARK AND FOREST SYSTEMS, AND PROVIDED AN OPPORTUNITY TO EDUCATE, INFORM, AND CONSERVE THROUGH VARIOUS MODES AND PROJECTS. FROM AN EDUCATIONAL PERSPECTIVE, WE PROVIDED ARTICLES AND INFORMATION ON NEW WAYS TO RECREATE IN STATE PARKS AND FORESTS.

THIS INCLUDED MULTIPLE CORPORATE VOLUNTEER DAYS. KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS INCLUDE: 1) LAUNCHING OR REVITALIZING FRIENDS GROUPS AT PROMISED LAND STATE PARKS AND BUCHANAN STATE FOREST. 2) EXPANDING CORPORATE VOLUNTEERISM THROUGH DELOITTE, NATIONAL FUEL, GORE, SIEMENS, AND OTHERS. 3) ADVANCING ACCESSIBILITY THROUGH ACTION TRACK CHAIRS, INCLUSIVE PLAYGROUNDS, ADA TRAIL PANELS, AND SPANISH-LANGUAGE EDUCATIONAL VIDEOS. 4) COMPLETING MAJOR PROJECTS SUCH AS THE START OF RESTORATION OF THE CARROLL CABIN, GROUSE HABITAT INTERPRETIVE PANELS (STARTED), AND TRAIL IMPROVEMENTS ACROSS MULTIPLE FORESTS. 5) PRODUCING STATEWIDE OUTREACH THROUGH NEWSLETTERS, ARTICLES, PODCASTS, INFLUENCER PARTNERSHIPS, AND THE SPANISH-LANGUAGE RADIO PROGRAM. 6) DELIVERING TRAIL TRAINING, LEAVE NO TRACE INSTRUCTION, CHAINSAW CERTIFICATION, AND ONLINE LEARNING MODULES. 7) COMPLETING THE PA OUTDOOR CORPS WORKFORCE ASSESSMENT AND LAUNCH OF THE MARKETING PLAN.
