PA DCNR makes key investments in rural PA’s growing outdoor recreation and tourism sectors
The PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources this month announced $5,218,900 in grant awards for organizations and projects across the 13-county PA Wilds Conservation Landscape region that help to advance local efforts to grow the region’s tourism and outdoor recreation sectors in a sustainable way.
The investments were selected through a statewide competitive process as part of the Community Conservation Partnerships Program (C2P2), a grant program DCNR administers annually.
This year’s C2P2 grants in the PA Wilds region cover a range of projects and partnerships, from providing funding for regional organizations that are helping to coordinate outdoor recreation, tourism and heritage development partnership networks, programs, mini grant programs and other critical capacity, to specific projects in individual communities related to stewardship, planning, and developing tourism, recreation and heritage assets.
The PA Wilds Center for Entrepreneurship (PA Wilds Center) received two grants totaling $406,000, to support its work coordinating the PA Wilds programs and partner networks, as well as to undertake key projects, such as standing up a bike rental/share operation in Marienville along the Knox-Kane Rail Trail; increased messaging around planned maintenance at the Kinzua Skywalk, a major attraction in the region; and undertaking the first of seven visitor-oriented recreation maps of the region, which the Center is developing in partnership with local communities and PA-based Purple Lizard Maps, a premier recreation mapping company with distribution across the Mid-Atlantic Region.
A. Kelsey Carleton, age 93, Of, Tioga, PA
A. Kelsey Carleton, age 93, died at home on Thursday, November 28, 2024. Kelsey was born on December 14, 1930 in Hammond, Pennsylvania, a son of the late George and Marguerite (Whitney) Carleton. He was married to Cleone (Cranmer) Carleton, who passed away in 2021, for just a few weeks shy of 72 years. After serving in the Marine Corps during the Korean War, he moved with his family to Tioga, PA where he resided at the time of his death.
Kelsey was a person of many and varied talents and interests. He was a big fan of baseball, first playing on and then coaching local Little League teams. Later his attention turned to gardening. Customers placed orders for his heaping quart baskets of delicious strawberries every year for decades; he was also known for his late summer potato crop which drew a huge following as well. He could debate the pros and cons of red vs. white potatoes with anyone. To take the gardening season into the fall, for many years he produced apple cider using an old-fashioned cider press.
