"A groundbreaking online experiment wants to help scientists understand how best to bring the benefits of nature to those stuck indoors." - Rebecca Jones Arts correspondent, BBC News https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-55746288

Our staff has seen its fair share of litter out on the lands - so we are sharing this Pennsylvania Resource Council photo contest with you. It's a great way to expose a growing problem in our beautiful state.... Let's make 2021 cleaner and greener! https://prc.org/programs/projects/lens-litter/

May your New Year be filled with health, happiness and nature!

The delicate beauty of our region needs our strong support this year! With an increase of people reconnecting with nature or discovering their new favorite outdoor activities, we've got some work to do. Are you with us in 2021? https://nblt.org/donate/

Whether you are a home-schooling parent, essential worker, or have been personally impacted by the challenges presented in 2020, you likely felt a surge of stress last year.

From all of us at North Branch Land Trust our hearts go out to the Teton Regional Land Trust community. https://tetonlandtrust.org

Thank you to everyone who participated in our Hike From Home Photo contest! All the entries were a joy to look at. And the winner is...... Matt Giambra, with this stunning night photo taken at Francis Slocum State Park! Matt will be staying hydrated with his new Camelbak! Congratulations!

Great place to explore! Congrats to Hickory Run State Park.

Don't release balloons, please. They just end up everywhere - even here, miles off the coast harming the local ecosystem. Thankfully this isn't wrapped around... some poor creature's neck or clogging their intestines. Yes, I will cut them down & paddle them out with me. Leave only footprints.

Conserving Land = Saving Nature!
