Although much of the northern half of the commonwealth is fading or past peak, vivid fall color has arrived in the south. Dazzling autumn scenery can be foun...d from the central and southern Appalachians to the south-Pocono region. Fantastic fall hues are also on display from the Lehigh Valley to South Mountain, extending eastward into the lower Delaware Valley.

Another community in Montgomery County will be voting on an Open Space Referendum during this year's Election.

Gorgeous color continues to abound throughout Penn’s Woods! While some northern counties have begun to fade, central forests are now stealing the show. Aweso...me color can be found from northwestern Pennsylvania through the Alleghenies and central Appalachians, to the Pocono region. Forecasted seasonable temperatures should facilitate a gradual transition of color throughout southern areas of the commonwealth for fantastic viewing opportunities into late October.

In a few weeks, residents in Lower Frederick Township (Western Montgomery County) will vote on an Open Space Referendum during the November 3rd Election, which if approved, would establish a dedicated fund to preserve open space in the Township. You can review the official Lower Frederick Ballot Question text to get a sense of how their question is written . We believe that residents of Worcester also deserve an opportunity to weigh in on the issue of an Open Space Referen...dum. The Worcester Supervisors considered putting a Referendum question on the ballot until COVID19. We will continue to encourage them to put an Open Space Referendum question on our ballot, when it makes sense to do so.
