The Goddard Leadership  Legacy Institute - a wonderful environmental learning opportunity for youth ages 13-15 at Pine Grove Furnace State Park - returns for a third season. The Central Pennsylvania Conservancy hosts the week-long overnight camp to help students learn about the natural environment in the South Mountain region, the importance of good stewardship and environmental sustainability, and to explore leadership roles and opportunities.

The deadline for applying is Monday, June 1st; a short on-line application portal is available here.

Learning how to be a conservation leader is fun and rewarding. The GLLI is packed with games, investigative studies, guest speakers, and field trips. You will learn about the value of the South Mountain landscape's waters, forests, and farms, AND about how to lead your own communities to protect these resources for future generations.

The South Mountain Partnership is Hiring. 

 The Appalachian Trail Conservancy and the PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources are actively looking for candidates for the position; please share this link broadly through your professional networks to anyone you know of that would be interested in this opportunity to create and implement a strategic vision for landscape-scale conservation in south-central Pennsylvania.
