    PPFF Changing Lives

    Just a note that I always enjoy reading “Take Five.” I’m continually reminded of the dedication to carefully managing and maintaining Pennsylvania’s State Forests and Parks that [PPFF staff] exhibit on a regular basis. Also impressed with your conservation, environmental, outdoor ethics.

    ~Richard
