ATV Regional Trail Connector Program Continuing Through 2025
The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources announced it will operate an ATV Regional Trail Connector through the 2025 riding season, following the conclusion of the ATV Regional Trail Connector in 2023.
An ATV Regional Pilot Report shares findings regarding the pilot on the department’s website.
Through collaborations with public and private partners, the pilot offered long-distance riding opportunities and contributed to local economies, while maintaining the many uses and values of the state forest system.
A key finding of the report showed that a multi-jurisdictional authority is necessary to ensure proper staffing, budget, and expertise to address the needs of the trail system. Learn more..

Penn College hoops teams split, playoff-bound
Pennsylvania College of Technology basketball teams split two United East games to close out the home portion of their regular-season schedules last week, and both are going to the playoffs.
FLASHBACK:
MEN’S BASKETBALL
On Tuesday at Penn State Berks, the Wildcats turned a five-point deficit early in the second half into a seven-point lead. Then they needed a layup with three seconds remaining by Livingston Cross, of Union, New Jersey, to pull out a 92-91 win for a sweep in the two-game season series. Cross and teammate Gavin Barrett, of Roselle, New Jersey, each scored 22 points in the victory, and Landon Reeder, of Montoursville, added 16 points and had a team-high 10 rebounds. Penn College led in points in the paint, 46-28.
Hosting Lancaster Bible College on Saturday, the Wildcats trailed by 15 at the intermission and could get no closer than 10 in the second half of an 89-71 loss. Cross continued his stellar play with a 26-point, 15-rebound effort to record his 12th double-double of the season.
As a result of the merger last summer between the United East and Colonial States Athletic Conference, the top six teams in both the Volt (former UEC) and Skye (former CSAC) divisions qualify for postseason play. The Wildcats will secure the No. 4 seed and host a first-round game with a win in their final two games or a Gallaudet loss.
