Mark Your Calendar!
Our Commonwealth’s unique natural, historical, and cultural resources make it a wonderful place to live, work, and play. Our stewardship makes Pennsylvania’s lands healthy lands. Pennsylvania Healthy Lands Week is an annual “rallying cry” for public engagement in the places and landscapes that make Pennsylvania special.
This year we will direct our attention to Bedford County, Pennsylvania, with a series of volunteer opportunities and activities that showcase what stewardship can look like.
All week long from National Public Lands Day on September 26 through A Walk in Penn’s Woods Day on October 3, 2026, there will be opportunities to learn about conservation and preservation, roll up your sleeves and volunteer, and see how everyone can make a difference.
Together we can make a real difference!
“Strategically, I think it’s important we all chip in to make parks and rec bigger and better across the state. Personally, I think there are a ton of really cool and creative people that volunteer, and I like interacting and being a part of that experience.“
—Jason Lang, CPRE – Director of Parks and Recreation, East Goshen Township
