Kittatinny announcesLearn to Kayak Daysand New Zip Lines

Kittatinny Canoes, “The Original Delaware River Outfi tter,” announces

Saturday, May 21st as a Learn to Kayak Day! Challenge the river 1-on-1 in paddler-

friendly watercraft. Meet at the Matamoras base, where certifi ed instructors teach

the basics of kayaking. Then, take a guided 10-mile scenic trip down the river

from Pond Eddy, NY back to Matamoras. This is a great opportunity if you’re

interested in kayaking but haven’t yet tried it. Subsequent Learn to Kayak Days are planned for June 12th, July 10th, July 24th, Aug 7th, August 21st, and September

10th.

Kittatinny also announces new dual racing Zip Lines, among the longest in

the United States! Spanning 3,000+ feet and reaching speeds of 50+ mph, the

lines run from Kittatinny’s paintball facility atop a mountain in Barryville, NY,

and parallel the Delaware River. Third-generation Kittatinny Canoes owner David

Jones comments, “Our location is the perfect place to open up a zip line. We

already had the land and other outdoor activities to support its marketability,

and the fact that we created one of the longest zip lines closest to New York

City, makes it a great opportunity for

tourism, as well as extending Kittatinny Canoes’ season.” The dual

racing zip lines feature natural, local materials and wood, as well as

installation methods minimally intrusive to trees and natural features.

For 70+ years, Kittatinny Canoes has provided outdoor fun

for residents and visitors who want to experience all the Delaware

River has to offer. From rafting, canoeing, kayaking, and tubing to

camping, paintball, and zipping, Kittatinny Canoes offers diverse river

ancient oak trees that have been

growing since the colonial era. Take

an easy two-mile hike around Lake

Lenape before traveling a few miles

to see some of the cleanest waters

in Eastern Pennsylvania. Participants

will marvel at the headwaters of

the Caledonia Creek, a sacred

site where water leaves the earth

and begins its terrestrial journey

surrounded by moss and towering

150-year-old tulip poplar trees. This

program will be held from 1:00 to

5:00pm and is free, with suggested

donations requested to support

the Pocono Heritage Land Trust’s

Preserve Management Fund. Meet

well as the world’s largest-such project at a sports venue. The 3-megawatt (3,000 kilowatt) solar farm was created,

tion. Governor Tom Corbett announces Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, among 13 total project venues across

the state, as a winner of the 2011 Environmental Excellence Award.

Other winning projects include abandoned

mine drainage reclamation and reducing the envi-

ronmental impact of glass processing. “These busi-

nesses, schools and organizations have demonstrat-

ed a commitment to fi nding new approaches to re-

duce our impact on the environment,” Corbett said.

“I commend them for their efforts, as these projects

certainly raise the bar for all citizens, businesses,

and organizations to be more environmentally con-

scious.” Visit the Department of Environmental Pro-

tection, www.dep.state.pa.us, or the Pennsylvania

June 4 – The Lacawac

Sanctuary, a 520-acre nature

preserve on Lake Wallenpaupack,

will host a program titled “A Bird

in the Hand” from 8:00am until

noon. Join Dr. Jeffrey Stratford in

exploring the birds of Lacawac and

those migrants who pass through

the area each spring and fall.

Millions of birds journey from their

nests in North America to winter

in South and Central America,

and then return each spring. Dr.

Stratford will help identify many

species that pass through the area

and will demonstrate how scientists

use a “mist net.” We some luck, the

group may even catch some birds

for closer examination and release.

Bring a camera! There is a $7 fee

to attend and pre-registration is required. To register, call (570) 689-

9494 or email [email protected].

The 520-acre Lacawac Sanctuary

is a non-profi t nature preserve,

research fi eld station and historic

site located on Lake Wallenpaupack.

It is one of the few sites nationwide

that is federally recognized as both

a National Natural Landmark and is

on the National Register of Historic Places. The sanctuary’s programs

are open to the public and include

environmental, historical and cultural

offerings as well as three miles

of hiking trails. See their website

www.lacawac.org.

June 4 – Connect with

Kestrels with “The Birdman” Paul Karner from 1:00 to 2:30pm at

PPL Corporation’s Martins Creek

Environmental Preserve, nestled

along the shores of the Delaware

River in Bangor. In 1978, Paul Karner

began a program to provide nesting

sites for the American kestrel by

placing nesting boxes throughout

prime kestrel habitat. These boxes

allowed this small falcon to return

yearly to raise its young. The program

has grown to over 80 kestrel boxes

and has allowed Karner, a federally

licensed bird bander, to band

these birds to study them. Enjoy

a slide show of his successes and

challenges as he follows several

pairs of kestrels throughout the

years. The presentation will also

showcase live falcons along with

some other surprises. A short fi eld

trip to see some of the nest boxes

he maintains on PPL property

will follow his presentation. Bring

your camera! The program will be

held at the Lower Mount Bethel

Welcome Center, 7701 Martins

Creek-Belvidere Highway in Bangor

(adjacent to Riverton Bridge).

Registration is appreciated by

contacting PPL at (570) 542-2886 or

Preserve, in conjunction with

PPL’s Martins Creek and Lower

Mount Bethel Energy power plants,

offers 215 acres of woodland and

Open House at the Old Stone Jail

in Honesdale from 10:00am until

1:00pm today. No longer in use,

the historic jail was built in 1859

and is located between the Wayne

County Courthouse and 10th Street

in Honesdale. The squat stone

structure housed Wayne County’s

miscreants until 1935. Constructed

almost entirely of rough stone,

its damp, gloomy interior has

most often been compared to a

dungeon. “Jailer” Dick Kreitnerwill be on hand to usher visitors

into the 9’x12’ cells as he relates

the history of the jail, including

numerous jailbreaks and some of

its more notorious occupants. The

Old Stone Jail Open House is free

to the public. For additional details,

call the Wayne County Historical

Society at (570) 253-3240 or visit

their very interesting website at

frog species while hopping around

trying to carefully catch them. Wear

boots and plan on getting dirty! The

cost to attend is $5. PEEC, a non-

profi t center, is located off Route

209 in Dingmans Ferry within the

beautiful Delaware Water Gap

National Recreation Area. The

center enhances environmental

awareness, knowledge, and

appreciation through hands-on

experience in a natural outdoor

classroom. PEEC provides these

unique environmental experiences
