The First Community Foundation Partnership of Pennsylvania will host a “Walk in Penn’s Woods” at Rider Park on Sunday, October 2, 2022, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

A “Walk in Penn’s Woods,” a statewide coordinated event, encourages people across Pennsylvania to learn how their local woods work, see forests in new ways, and appreciate and love the forests so that we can all care well for them.

Rider Park Manager, Sara Street, invites you to stretch your legs and explore Rider Park with an early fall hike. Walk 3.5 miles on Cheryl’s Trail while learning about how the forests enhance our well-being. Bring your sturdy hiking boots, water, and a sense of adventure.

Due to limited parking at Rider Park, participants are asked to pre-register for this event by calling the Community Foundation at 570-321-1500 or emailing, FCFP@fcfpartnership.org. The event will be hosted rain or shine. Check @FCFPGives on Facebook for event updates. Directions to the Park can be downloaded at www.RiderPark.org.
