Our Road, Your Communities
Celebrate Earth Day with the DCNR and Tom Ridge Environmental Center

While some facilities along the Great Lakes offer environmental education and others do research, none offer research, education, and visitor services in one place, and that's what makes the Tom Ridge Environmental Center such a unique destination. Located in Presque Isle, TREC is open year-round and offers free admission to its interactive exhibits, glass-enclosed 75-foot tower, and orientation movie. TREC takes learning to a whole new level of family fun!

This month at TREC, the DCNR will host the Virtual History of Earth Day. To learn more about Earth Day and upcoming DCNR events, CLICK HERE.

This Month's "Share Your Adventure on 6"
In the last edition of the "Our Road is Your Road" newsletter, we asked readers to share a photo and/or story about their favorite stop on Route 6. The two photos below were submitted by Nancy Taylor and are of the Barbour Rick Trail at Colton Point State Park.

Nancy writes: "Full disclosure on my photos that I submitted. My husband Ron and I owned the Colton Point Motel. We are the ones who purchased the bench for the overlook. That is my husband Ron and his aunt in the photo. My husband has since passed away so this is one of my favorite pictures of him and his aunt. We purchased the bench after the two of them had walked to the overlook. Barb was very tired and of course had nowhere to sit. This photo was taken after the bench was in place and we walked out for her to see it."
