<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Join Kim Blocher and Larry Knutson for a 90 minute talk and hike as we explore a little known aspect of our Pennsylvania history. Of the great plant explorers and botanists who searched North America in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, there were among them a disproportionate number of Quakers. Why is that? What are the plants they discovered and how have those plants been useful to us?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Participants will embark on a short hike and talk about the particular native plants discovered by men such as John Bartram. Michaux forest is a treasure trove to be explored, and you will do so in the spirit of these intrepid botanists.</span></div>

The observation honey bee hive at Strawberry Hill has been a source of education and entertainment for the past year. Donated by Pennsylvania Backyard Beekeepers' Association and maintained by Shady Rest Apiaries, LLC, the hive is location in the nature center. The beekeepers from Shady Rest Apiaries have designated a four-part workshop to offer support and instruction for beginning backyard beekeepers. This series has been ongoing since January.</div>

Beekeepers Jon and Kay Deardorff will be installing a working beehive at the quarry on Labor Day weekending during South Mountain Outdoors! The public is invited to participate in a hike to the quarry and to observe as the hive is installed and secured by fencing which will deter the local bears from enjoying the honey produced in the hive. Backyard beekeeping is an effort to protect our greatest pollinator.<br />
<br />
The program will take between 2 and 2.5 hours - including the hike!<br />
Terrain for the hike is natural surfaces of well maintained trails with a moderate uphill climb.<br />
<br />
Families with children are welcome!<br />
<br />
There is limited space - a capacity of only 30 people!</div>
