Below is a picture from a class project to replace a non-functioning culvert on a forest road on our campus woodlot.  As part of our Forest Mgmt and Planning course, each year we do coursework and field work on forest roads.  The last couple of years we’ve been working to restore natural drainage patterns on the forest by replacing culverts that were originally installed in the 1940’s and 1950’s when the campus road system was established. Most of these original culverts are no longer functioning.  The class established elevation for restoration of the drainage, and in the photo is replacing the plugged and crushed culvert.  Apologies for the photo quality.

New Penn State Mont Alto Honor Society Members

Posted on by

Congratulations to Penn State Mont Alto students Tyler Wakefield and Nate Rosenberg who have been inducted into the CEFTS Forest Technology Honor Society. Membership in the Honor Society is based on a student’s academic achievement in forestry courses taken for the Associate degree.

Tyler and Nate were awarded their certificates during the graduation picnic at Mont Alto State Park. Because of the forecast thunderstorms we had pizza, instead of our usual cookout. Thankfully, we have the pavilion, and finished just before the rains hit!
