Professional Women is a grass-roots group coordinated by University women to develop and maintain a communication network and serve as a resource for other Penn State audiences.
Dedication ceremonies will include a tree-planting ceremony and tours throughout the facility. Each tour will be led by tree-clad students. The center, which is part of the Laurel Haven Tree Farm, is about 1.5 miles northwest of Julian on Beaver Road. Now part of Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences, Laurel Haven is dedicated to the use of natural resource conservation through sustainable forestry practices. The center and forest land were donated by Jane Madsen and her late husband, Harold Mitzel. Both Madsen and Mitzel are former faculty members in the College of Education.
For more information on the ceremony or the Laurel Haven Conservation Education Center, call Cathy Arney at (814) 863-7093, or John Wall at (814) 863-2719.
Woodland Wildflower Walk: Sunday, May 26, 2 to 4 p.m. Spring has sprung around Shaver's Creek, so join one of their naturalists in a leisurely walk to view spring in bloom, along with folklore, facts and stories about the wildflowers that grace the forest floor. Cost: $4; members $3; children 12 and under $2.50. Registration is required for most of these programs, so please call the center at (814) 863-2000 and ask for Julie.
