WESTERN PA EVENT - ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATORS MEETUP AT JENNINGS
Wednesday, September 14 from 4:00 - 6:00 PM
|
Let's gather at Jennings Environmental Education Center on Wednesday, September 14, 2022 from 4-6pm to network and learn a little about Jennings! This event is hosted by your western PA directors, Wendy Kedzierski and Susie Moffett, and Jennings EEC. This is an informal gathering so come later or leave early to fit your schedule. We'll meet at the center for light refreshments and introductions then get a tour and hike around parts of the property from Jennings staff. One of the park’s main features, the 20-acre prairie ecosystem, is home to distinctive prairie plants and the endangered massasauga rattlesnake. The most noteworthy and spectacular prairie flower is the blazing star. Jennings was the first reserve established in Pennsylvania to protect an individual plant species and remains the only public and protected prairie in the commonwealth.
