Dotyville Hill Forest Dedication

 

Officers and Board members of our chapter were invited to the Dedication Ceremony for the new purchase of 528 acres of woodland by the Foundation for Sustainable Forests on August 12.  

Labeled as the Dotyville Hill Forest, it now is part of the 1,200 acres of protected land known as the Caldwell Creek Watershed Conservation Project.  It includes significant frontage along Caldwell Creek’s delayed harvest section and will insure that this property will be open for public fishing, hunting, hiking and bird watching into perpetuity.  The project was made possible with a grant from Pennsylvania’s Department of Conservation & Recreation (DCNR) via the Keystone Fund and additional support from the John Nesbit Rees and Sarah Henne Rees Foundation, Trout Unlimited’s Northwest PA Chapter, Caldwell Creek Chapter and the Stec Family.  

Our Chapter was pleased and honored that we could help make this project possible with our letter of support and $1,000 donation assisting the Foundation secure their grant funding.  Attending from our Chapter for a walking tour and presentation by Foundation members were President Bill Eckert and Board Members Matt Kerr, Jack Bock and Rick Gilson.
