I know we're looking forward to some break time in Penn's Woods and exploring the wintertime beauty of Pennsylvania's 86,000 miles of waterways. We'll see you back in the New Year!
- Bridge to somewhere: If you've ever visited New York City's amazing High Line---an elevated rail-to-trail---read on to learn about how London may take it even a giant step further. Two million lbs. of dirt and nearly 300 trees will be part of a riverview park that crosses the mighty River Thames. Inspiration for our state's many river crossings, perhaps?
- An environmental impact report is a key facet of planning all kinds of public infrastructure projects but, frankly, is known mostly to legal and policy folks. This transportation report, however, catches the eye for far more than its technical data. Do we need more like this one?
- Speaking of our Commonwealth's tens of thousands of rivers and streams: Pennsylvania water trail maps make for great off-season paddle planning for 2015 adventures. Anyone who's paddled them all and sends us an email gets a public high-five and a piece of candy in the next blog post. Bucket list, anyone?
- Dolphins. Yes, dolphins. This clip from a special view precludes the need to say anything more. One of the many reasons that clean water matters to all of us.
