REGISTER BY PHONE BY NEXT THURSDAY, JUNE 1 FOR CANYON WATERFALL GEOLOGY HIKE ON SATURDAY, JUNE 3
Saturday, June 3 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., explore the waterfalls along the lower Turkey Path on your quest to unlock the geologic secrets of the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon.
The one-mile round trip hike up about 400 vertical feet (half way) of the trail will be led by both park staff and professional geologists from DNCR’s Bureau of Geological Survey.
The hike begins at the base of the canyon, where the Lock Haven Formation is exposed. These rocks were deposited approximately 380 million years ago as sediment on the edge of an ancient sea and contain fossils of marine organisms. As the hike progresses, the exposed rock will be progressively younger and transition into the shoreline and alluvial plane deposits of the Catskill Formation, effectively transporting participants through time and space of the geologic history of the gorge.
This program is well-suited for those curious about the ancient past of the gorge and those willing and able to complete the strenuous hike.
Registrants will meet by 9 a.m. in the Darling Run access parking lot for the Pine Creek Rail Trail, be bussed approximately 3.5 miles to the base of the trail below Leonard Harrison State Park where the program will begin.
To get to the Darling Run access parking lot for the Pine Creek Rail Trail from Wellsboro or Galeton, drive on U.S. Route 6, turn onto Route 362 and go about 1.5 miles to Darling Run in Ansonia.
After a brief introduction, the group will climb slowly, learning along the way to a point about half way up the path and near the upper waterfall.
Participants should wear proper footwear and layered clothing for the hike. A small backpack, water and snacks are also encouraged.
Those interested should register by calling 570-724-3061 between 8 p.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Sunday.
The deadline to register is by next Thursday, June 1. Spaces are limited.

Wonderling Takes Top Place At Bradford Speedway
Jeremy Wonderling certainly knows how to get around Bradford Speedway; however, in the two prior Tour races run at the tricky track, it was fellow New York standouts Bryce Davis and John Waters victorious. Neither Davis nor Waters were in competition on Sunday so a new winner was guaranteed. Wonderling was certainly the favorite and he lived up to the billing passing Kurt Stebbins on lap three and holding off 13-year-old phenom Brock Pinkerous for his Series leading third victory of 2023 worth $3,000.

BEAR IN LUZERNE COUNTY ATTACK CAPTURED
The bear that attacked and injured two children in Luzerne County this week has been captured and euthanized.
Two bears – a male and a female – were caught overnight in live traps the Pennsylvania Game Commission set following a May 22 bear attack in Wright Township, near Mountain Top, that left a 5-year-old and 14-month-old with injuries.
Previously completed DNA testing on the clothes the children were wearing at the time of the attack had developed a profile for the bear in the attack. Samples collected Friday morning from the trapped bears immediately were taken to The Dr. Jane Huffman Wildlife Genetics Institute at East Stroudsburg University. Testing performed there concluded the trapped female bear indeed was the same one from the attack.
While bear attacks in Pennsylvania are extremely rare, when bears attack people and later are captured, they are euthanized to ensure public safety. That’s not to say a bear involved in an attack is prone to attack. Bear attacks many times are the product of a bear that is cornered and has no easy escape route. But euthanasia is a precaution against future attacks, as well as the only way to test the bear for rabies. If a bear tests negative for rabies, it relieves concerns the animal has caused further public health risk, and allows attack victims to possibly be spared rabies treatments.
“For more than 125 years, the Pennsylvania Game Commission has worked to protect and provide for the Commonwealth’s wildlife,” said Game Commission Executive Director Bryan Burhans. “With the agency’s guidance, the state’s once-beleaguered bear population recovered, prospering to the point we now have about 15,000 bears statewide, and bear hunting opportunities in most counties. Pennsylvania’s bear populations really couldn’t be doing better, and that will continue to be the case.
“While the agency doesn’t take lightly its duty to follow protocol to euthanize a bear involved in an attack, it also places great importance on ensuring public safety, and in this case we have fulfilled our responsibility through our actions.”
The male bear caught in the trap alongside the female has been relocated to a more remote area farther from the attack site.
If there are further updates in this matter, the Game Commission will issue another news release Tuesday afternoon.
Ruffed Grouse Society in NC PA Finishes Spring Events with Future Hunters and Handlers’ Clinic
St. Marys, Pa.: “It’s been a busy spring for the Upland Bird Hunt Chapter of the Ruffed Grouse Society (RGS) up here in NC Pa,” said Jed Hamberger, President of the Chapter, “but we finished up our ambitious spring schedule. Now we take a short break and get ready for our summer event, the four-day Women’s Intro to Wingshooting program.”
The Upland Bird Hunt Chapter started its spring schedule by tackling an ambitious new habitat project of alder regeneration at Tionesta Lake in partnership with the Army Corps of Engineers; then moved directly into woodcock singing and drumming grouse surveys in partnership with the PA Game Commission and the US Geological Service. The first ever Wild Game Dinner Social was held at the Rolfe Beagle Club. And finally, the Upland Bird Hunt Chapter sponsored its always well-received Future Hunters and Handlers’ Clinic for dog owners at the Rolfe Beagle Club.
The Future Hunters and Handlers’ Clinic is designed for any dog handler or hunter who wants to establish a better rapport with their dog or learn new techniques in dog training. This program is held every spring by the chapter with experts in the dog training field, dog care, and habitat providing short one-hour seminars for attendees to rotate into. This spring, the program had 16 attendees – mostly dog owners, but even a few attendees that will be future dog owners. “We are thinking about rotating this program to another RGS Chapter area such as Erie or State College or Williamsport next spring so we can reach more interested folks,” said Tom McPherson, an instructor for the program.
Any hunters or dog handlers interested in what the Upland Bird Hunt Chapter of the RGS has to offer in NC Pa should contact Jed Hamberger at jedhamberger@gmail.com.
