August 25, 2023 Weekly Digest: Recent News from the PA Wilds

The PA Wilds Weekly Digest is a roundup of news articles about the PA Wilds, the region’s public lands and its Landscapes and Journeys that have been published over the past week.

Note: some of the news websites may have paywalls that prevent you from reading their content.

Enjoy this week’s PA Wilds News Clips below. In news on the PA Wilds Center’s platforms, you find information about the Makers Market on November 4, the PA Wilds Media Lab grand opening on September 26, and the Wilds Sonshine Factory grand opening this weekend! The brewery and outfitter series are also continuing on PAWilds.com.
In media coverage about the PA Wilds, media outlets are covering those same events and inviting readers/listeners from around the region to attend. Ray Hunt, a contributing writer to PAWilds.com, is featured in the Tri-County Weekend with an article about his love for the PA Wilds and a recent adventure in Cook Forest.

PA Wilds landscapes and outdoor recreation assets were also featured in a Spanish-language article about why international students should consider getting a degree in Pennsylvania.
