Mark your calendars for Saturday July 6th. Lots of changes being made to the courses which will allow us to get back you to 8, 1 hours courses. Most work can be done with a lopping shears, but there will be a little work for chain saws. More to come as the date gets closer.

Thanks for laying out the great courses, Jeff... Foresters are doing a phenomenal job out there. Where we have habitat being made in PA, we have birds. PS. Saw more young hawthorns than anywhere I've encountered in PA.

Hey Jeff, just wanted to let you know that from what I saw of the course clearing operation yesterday, you have done a truly awesome job of laying out & marking courses!
This area right now has some great bird covers, but whats even better than that is there are a number of very young clearcuts that will create covers for many years to come.
Plus, you do the lion share of the work at Black Moshannon. So here's a shout out to you!
Thanks for all of the work & great job!

Many thanks to those who came out today to help clean the courses, 10 people completed 4 courses.

Many compliments about the amount of soft mast seen and eaten by those helping; low and high bush blue berries, raspberries(red and black) and service berries; black berries and cherries soon to ripen.

There were also comments about the quality of cover on the courses they worked, hoping they get drawn for those courses at the fall trial.

Thanks to Jarrod Specht for helping me re-route a course this morning before the rains. We also saw/heard a brood of 6 grouse, the size of chukar already.

Still lots to do next weekend.

Change in dates, I have to move the work day until Saturday July 6, I found out on Tuesday I need to take part in an Eagle Scout ceremony on the 29th.

We'll meet at the boat launch at 8 am and head out the the courses you want to work on. If you cant make it at 8, I can give you coordinates to a course to work.

Lunch will be at 12 noon, grilling hot dogs back down at the boat launch.

Any questions, give me a call or test@ 814.321.1339

Hi Jeff, I am pretty sure I can help that day. I don’t have a saw but I’ll bring shears.
