PHLT welcomes new Outreach Coordinator
Pocono Heritage Land Trust would like to welcome Abigail Dillon, PHLT's new Outreach Coordinator. We are excited to have her join the team!

In 2017, Abigail earned a B.S. in Ecological Agriculture from the University of Vermont. There she studied a variety of plant and soil sciences, agricultural policy, ethics, and economics from the perspective of ecology and sustainability.

After working on several organic farms, she went on to study holistic health counseling and continues to explore wellness, food production and preservation at home. A third generation native of Stroudsburg, she was a leading member of the Stroudsburg High School newspaper and has maintained an ongoing passion for creative writing, music and other expressive pursuits.

Always guided by a deep respect for the land and its history, she is excited to join the PHLT team in being a voice and partner of the natural world.

Heads up! COVID-19 related news
On Monday, March 23,  DCNR Secretary Cindy Adams Dunn announced that all facilities at state parks and forests in Pennsylvania will be closed until April 30   to help slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus. The public will still be able to access trails, lakes, forests, roads, and parking areas for passive and dispersed recreation, such as hiking. State park facility closures include playgrounds.

In addition, the National Parks and Recreation Association   provides guidance  on how park and recreation professionals and the public can stay safe and healthy while using public parks and trails.
