About this event


As a self guided hike along the pristine McKaig trails, "Walk in Penn’s Woods" is for people across Pennsylvania to visit and learn about the forests that enhance our well-being. Forests are always working for us, providing recreation, wildlife habitat, beauty, improved water quality, clean air, wood products, carbon storage, and more.

Walk in Penn’s Woods, a statewide coordinated event on the first weekend in October, 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.

The Walk in Penn’s Woods partnership includes the Center for Private Forests at Penn State, the Pennsylvania Forestry Association, Penn State Forestry and Wildlife Extension, Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Pennsylvania Forest Stewards, the Pennsylvania Chapter of the Association of Consulting Foresters, the Pennsylvania Sustainable Forestry Initiative, the Pennsylvania Parks and Forests Foundation, and Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful.
