Take a moment to reflect on the past and remember the bravery and unity the followed this tragic day 22 years ago.

“One of the worst days in America’s history saw some of the bravest acts in Americans’ history. We’ll always honor the heroes of 9/11. And here at this hallowed place, we pledge that we will never forget their sacrifice.”

—President George W. Bush at the Pentagon in 2008

Have you encountered our June in your woods recently? This invasive is Mile-a-minute (Persicaria perfoliate), known for taking over and carpeting woodland edges, wetlands, and roadsides with its extensive and fast-growing vines. The leaves are a distinctive triangular shape, and the vine and stems are covered in tiny, hooked barbs. Mile-a-minute also produces a metallic blue or purple berry-like fruit in late summer. This fruit contains its seeds, and because it’s an herbaceous annual (meaning it dies in the fall and new plants grow from germinating seeds in the spring) we can help to control by acting quickly to remove it or treat it before the fruiting stage. Once it does go to fruit/seed, it can be difficult to eradicate as seeds can remain viable for at least six years!

Get all the details on our June invasive Mile-a-minute and how you can manually remove it or treat it here: https://extension.psu.edu/mile-a-minute

The PA DCNR Bureau of Forestry will be conducting a statewide Spongy Moth (formerly Gypsy Moth) suppression project throughout the month of May. The insecticides being used on public properties are Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) and Tebufenozide, insecticides that specifically target caterpillars and must be ingested by the caterpillars to cause mortality. The insecticide will be applied by aircraft, either helicopter or fixed wing, flying approximately 50 feet above the treetops. To avoid a slight possibility of eye irritation, do not look up as the spray cloud is descending. If the material gets on the skin, soap and water are sufficient to remove it. Please refer to the interactive map at the link below to find out if there are any spray blocks near you and to learn when blocks have been completed: https://gis.dcnr.pa.gov/SpongyMoth/

Today is officially Opening Day of the 2024 MLB season! ⚾

that many baseball bats used by professionals are made from ?

Pennsylvania is known for its high-quality timber! Hard Maple makes up 7.2% of Pennsylvania’s forest and is the preferred species when making baseball bats due to its weight, density, and hardness. In addition to PA sawmills providing wood to manufacturers like Louisville Slugger, PA is home to over 10 baseball bat manufacturers of its own, including the Aul Bat Company, a Pittsburgh company who donated a bat to the PA WoodMobile program!
