Homeschool Days: Squirreling Away!
What: As summer fades to fall, and fall into winter, humans and animals alike begin to prepare for the cold weather and long nights by storing the bountiful harvest from the earlier months. While humans have refrigerators and grocery stores to make their life easier, wildlife doesn’t have quite the same luxuries. In this program for children in grades 4-8, we will look at different food-storage strategies used by squirrels in Pennsylvania by playing an outdoor winter survival game and learn different ways these animals can make it through the snowy season. Contact Vinny Curtis at [email protected] to register.
When: Tuesday October 10 at 10:00 AM
Where: Tiadaghton State Forest Resource Management Center, Waterville
Bioactive, Streamside Terrarium Build: Watch or Help!
What: The fish tank in the Tiadaghton Resource Management Center that traditionally held brook trout is being turned into a self-sustaining ecosystem that will mimic many of the local mountain streams that feed Pine Creek! A small waterfall, rocks, substrate, and local plants will form the home for a red eft and adult, red-spotted newts, an American toad, and a variety of small forest floor critters! Want to see how a bioactive terrarium is built, or lend a hand yourself? Stop by the office anytime from 9am to 2pm October 11 & 12 to lend a hand or watch the terrarium be put together! Ask questions, learn how the terrarium is going to work, and discover the plants and critters that will call it home. Contact Vinny Curtis at [email protected] with questions.
When: Wednesday October 11 & Thursday October 12 from 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Where: Tiadaghton State Forest Resource Management Center, Waterville
Fall Foliage Hike
What: Fall is in the air! The temperature is dropping, days are getting shorter, and the leaves are starting to change. Come along on a 2-mile, easy hike on the Pine Creek Trail and Old Wagon Road Trail to discover why and how leaves change color, why some don’t, why some trees keep their dead leaves all winter long, as well as which trees turn which colors. Contact Vinny Curtis at [email protected] with questions.
When: Friday October 13 at 10:00 AM
Where: Tiadaghton State Forest Resource, Waterville Pine Creek Rail Trail parking lot
Yoga on the Creek!
What: Traci Salvo, a yoga enthusiast with over 10 years of experience will be leading a class with a short meditation to encourage everyone to bring their presence and enjoy exercising in nature. Feel free to bring a yoga mat or towel, or just practice in the grass. Wear comfortable clothing and bring along a bottle of water. Contact Vinny Curtis at [email protected] to register.
When: Saturday October 14 at 10:00 AM
Where: Tiadaghton State Forest, Tomb Flats Campground
Friday Forest Friends

The application and payment may be mailed to the Wayne Township Zoning Office at PO Box 217, McElhattan, PA 17748.

The Clinton County Office of Emergency Management has taken on the task of getting a listing of all resources and needs within the County. To achieve this goal each Township Emergency Management Coordinator (EMC) has been given a Resource Template to start getting information from within their township.
Please, if you or know anyone within Wayne Township that needs any Special Alert Notifications
We would greatly appreciate you forwarding this information to the Wayne Township Emergency Management Coordinator, Richard Scheesley at [email protected] or at (570)916-2820.
The information generated will be very useful in the event of any natural or man-made disaster. A complete and up to date listing will prove it’s worth during a time of needs.
