WE ALSO HOSTED THE WARREN COUNTY WINTERFEST EVENT, A FAMILY FRIENDLY WINTER FESTIVAL TO PROVIDE RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES WITH WINTER SPORTS AND HELP RAISE FUNDS FOR THE SALVATION ARMY. WE ACCEPTED A PROJECT TO RAISE FUNDS FOR THE REHABILITATION OF A POPULAR HIKING TRAIL WHICH CONNECTS A CAMPGROUND AT CHAPMAN STATE PARK WITH THE NORTH COUNTRY NATIONAL SCENIC TRAIL. WE ALSO COMPLETED WORK ON A SCALE MODEL OF THE FAMOUS ST. LOUIS GATEWAY ARCH AND A SELF-SERVICE VIDEO KIOSK AT THE WARREN COUNTY VISITORS BUREAU WHICH WILL SERVE AS A PERMANENT MONUMENT TO RECORD THE HISTORY OF WARREN, PA BEING THE BIRTHPLACE OF THE GATEWAY ARCH. THIS NEW MONUMENT WILL TELL THE HISTORIC STORY AND HONOR THE 280 LOCAL LABORERS WHO FABRICATED THE STAINLESS STEEL SECTIONS WHICH WERE SHIPPED FROM WARREN, PA TO ST. LOUIS, MO WHERE THEY WERE ASSEMBLED TO FORM THE GATEWAY ARCH NATIONAL PARK. WE ALSO PARTNERED WITH THE ALLEGHENY OUTDOOR CLUB TO HOST A GROUP OF FOREIGN REFUGEES TO VISIT AND LEARN ABOUT OUR NATURAL RESOURCES.

WE ALSO PROVIDED TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO LAND USERS INTERESTED IN ENROLLING LANDS IN THE WETLAND RESERVE PROGRAM TO CREATE ADDITIONAL WILDLIFE HABITAT AND IMPROVE WATER QUALITY AND QUANTITY MANAGEMENT. WE HOSTED A PUBLIC EDUCATIONAL MEETING FOR LIVESTOCK PRODUCERS TO HELP THEM MANAGE THEIR GRASSLANDS MORE EFFECTIVELY TO IMPROVE SOIL HEALTH AND PROFITABILITY OF THEIR FARMING OPERATIONS. WE ALSO APPLIED FOR AND RECEIVED FUNDING TO EVALUATE WATER QUALITY AND DEVELOP A COLDWATER HERITAGE CONSERVATION PLAN FOR PITHOLE CREEK, A TRIBUTARY OF THE ALLEGHENY RIVER, A FEDERALLY DESIGNATED NATIONAL RECREATION AND SCENIC RIVER. WE ALSO PROVIDED ONE ON ONE ASSISTANCE WITH LIVESTOCK PRODUCERS FROM A PAID CONSULTANT AND NUMEROUS EDUCATIONAL PRESENTATIONS TO HELP PRODUCERS BETTER UNDERSTAND MANAGEMENT OF STOCKPILED GRAZING FORAGES AND MANAGEMENT OF THEIR ANIMALS.

WARM SEASON GRASS PERFORMS BETTER THAN TRADITIONALLY USED MATERIALS SUCH AS BEDDING STRAW OR SAWDUST FOR EXAMPLE. THE ASSOCIATION OF WARM SEASON GRASS PRODUCERS LAUNCHED A MARKETING CAMPAIGN THROUGHOUT PENNSYLVANIA'S FARMING COMMUNITY TO EDUCATE AND PROMOTE THE MANY ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS OF WARM SEASON GRASS USAGE, WILL HELP FARMERS BEGIN USING WARM SEASON GRASS IN THEIR FARMING OPERATIONS, WILL DEVELOP A CATALOGUE OF GROWERS AND SELLERS IN EACH COUNTY IN PENNSYLVANIA, AND WILL PRESENT THE PROJECT'S MARKETING RESULTS AND GRASS PRODUCER'S CATALOGUE TO THE FARM COMMUNITY. THE PROJECT WAS SO SUCCESSFUL THAT WE DEVELOPED A SECOND PHASE OF THE PROJECT TO DESIGN AND BUILD A MOBILE POULTRY BEDDING PROCESSING MACHINE THAT COULD BE DEMONSTRATED AND USED ON MULTIPLE FARMS FOR PRODUCERS TO HARVEST AND PRODUCE RETAIL PACKAGES OF POULTRY BEDDING FOR SMALL SCALE PRODUCERS.
