Let's talk about bears!
Before our local black bears tuck themselves in for winter hibernation, let’s learn more about this intelligent species. Pennsylvania Game Wardens Jake Klinger and Justin Faus will entertain us with fun facts as well as inform us about diseases, how the Game Commission gathers data on the species, and how to handle human-bear conflicts.
The black bear population has rebounded in PA from its low in the 70’s, so it’s quite likely you’ll someday have a close encounter with a bear. This presentation will help you be more informed and better prepared.
All are welcome!

The ArtFest Container Garden Contest 2025
We had a beautiful day, excellent entries and helpful volunteers, so it was the best ArtFest yet! Our 15 container garden entries attracted much attention and earned a record $627 toward our Kocher Park pollinator projects.
Our thanks go to everyone who entered, the members and friends who helped at the booth and to all who voted for their favorite gardens. The winning garden, “Nurse Log”, created and built by Joan McCarty, Cynthia Schroll and Keith Kocher, was both educational and beautiful. Its destination after winning will be in the woods, where it will decompose and continue to benefit flora and fauna. Congratulations to Cynthia, Keith and Joan for their prize-winning natural entry. (Cynthia was not present for the photo of the winning garden.)
In case you missed ArtFest, here are some pictures of the entries. We hope they inspire you to enter the contest next year and help us to set a new record!
