Volunteer registration is officially open for I Love My Park Day 💚

If you’ve ever stayed the night at a DEC campground, walked the trails at a State Park, or stepped back in time at a Historic Site, this is your chance to give a little back. From planting flowers and picking up litter to restoring trails and repairing picnic tables, there’s a way for everyone to get involved.

Find a project near you and sign up in just a few minutes: https://www.ptny.org/events/i-love-my-park-day/

We've removed a number of trees affected by the Emerald Ash Borer from the camping areas this past winter/fall/spring. This OCCA post is very educational on the matter! We left a standing stump in the Deer Run camping area to show the effects of the insect beneath the bark. I'll post a pic of it in the comments here too. A reminder: don't move untreated firewood more than 50 miles from its source, within the state, to prevent the spread of invasive pests. Only firewood heat-treated to 160f for 75 minutes, and labeled as such, can be moved without restriction.
