Exploring Rail Gap Nature Preserve Together
Join our friends BTU & BWA for these guided hikes at Rail Gap:
PHLT Volunteers have been Hard at Work!
Decades worth of debris
PHLT volunteer Lisa organized her own cleanup event at Rail Gap Nature Preserve this fall!
Recent flooding, combined with years of dumping on this property, left this area loaded with trash.

A big thanks to Lisa for taking on this project, and thanks to all the volunteers who helped restore this preserve to a safe and natural state!
Rebuilding after the storm
The bridge at Yankee Run Nature Preserve is back in place and hopefully stable for the long run. The original one was 12' long, and washed away about 100 yards downstream during the recent storms. The new bridge is 16' long (and is also cabled to a tree!)

Thanks very much to volunteers Dean, Joe and Steve for lending their strong backs and carpentry skills to get this bridge back in order.
Restoring ecosystems
During our scheduled workdays, volunteers helped restore natural areas by removing invasive plants at Glen Run Nature Preserve, and started clearing a new trail at Pomeroy!
A new ramp at Jonas
Jim and Slade added a ramp to the stream-crossing bridge at Jonas Mountain Nature Preserve, making it easier to cross while still allowing flood waters to flow underneath.
Let's keep the ball rolling!
We have just one volunteer day left this season:
Saturday November 13th | 9:00 am – 12:00 pm 
Fieldstone Farm Nature Preserve 
Location: Mt Pocono
We’ll continue our effort to push back against woody invasive species at this photogenic preserve.
Embrace a Stream Challenge at Pomeroy Nature Preserve
Help the Brodhead Chapter of Trout Unlimited fundraise for much needed stream improvements in McMichael's Creek on the PHLT Pomeroy Nature Preserve in Stroudsburg! BTU still needs to raise $15,000 to complete this project, which will create 27 new habitats for native trout to shelter, feed and hide, and take up permanent residence in McMichael's Creek.

Click here to donate to the Embrace A Stream Challenge: an on-line fundraising event that runs from November 8-14, 2021 and provides additional funding opportunities with Orvis matching up to $1,000 for the project!
Help protect the natural heritage of the Pocono Mountains.
