A big thanks to Susquehanna Outfitters for taking our members out kayaking during our conference.

If you are in the Harrisburg area, make sure to fit a kayaking trip into your travels. No experience needed, Matt DeLuca and crew have the expertise to help you!

📣 A big shout out to Andrew of “The Bird Guy Tours” for leading several of us at the Pennsylvania Outdoor Writers Association’s birding activity around Wildwood Park. Sometimes, birding with a local can help you skip the process of “finding out where the birds are”, and Andrew was welcoming, knowledgeable, and kind. Thank you Andrew for showing us a great time! Contact information is listed below if you’d like to book him for a field trip!
