Friends of Plummer’s Hollow

Interested in seeing more of Plummer’s Hollow than just the portion of the road open as a public trail? We’ve launched a Friends program to recruit volunteers to help plant trees and shrubs, remove invasive species, construct deer enclosures, and assist with controlled burns and other ecological recovery efforts in pursuit of our stewardship goals. In return, Friends are allowed to roam anywhere on the property, using our extensive network of trails. Please get in touch if you’re interested in joining. (If you prefer postal mail, write to us: Dave and Marcia Bonta, PO Box 68, Tyrone, PA 16686.)

We are also open to visits from school groups and church groups, elder hostel-type programs, and that sort of thing. And biologists, ecologists, professors of forestry and other scientists looking for places to conduct field research are encouraged to get in touch. (A couple of studies have already taken advantage of our three-acre deer exclosure, in place in an older section of woods since 2001.)
