Thank you to everyone who attended the EMHR's Annual Meeting at the Montrose Bible Conference in Susquehanna County on Wednesday. It was great hearing from our many Partnership Grant recipients about their projects, our friend EJ Murphy from the Waverly Community House who spoke about the Destination Freedom program expansion to the Endless Mountains, and members of our Endless Mountains Gravel committee who talked about this year's successful Endless Mountains Grand Depart event and our new day loops that launched late this summer for gravel cyclists who wish to tour our region by bicycle. Our executive director gave a year-in-review report before we headed to lunch prepared by the Bible Conference staff. We also presented our outgoing board president, Dave Palmer, with a token of our appreciation for his many years of service. Thank you to everyone who supported the EMHR in 2026 and we look forward to another successful year in 2027!

The EMHR held its second annual "A Walk in Penns Woods" event on Sunday, October 4, at Mokoma Conservancy in Sullivan County, with 32 in attendance.
The group walked about 3 miles of the Conklin Run Wilderness Area on the Mokoma property and heard from board member John Deckard and volunteer Gerald Mann about invasive species, the golden-winged warbler enclosure, and various events and projects that Mokoma Conservancy volunteers are working on, as well as future plans.
The EMHR would like to thank all of those who attended A Walk in Penns Woods at the Mokoma Conservancy and to remind our followers of our last hike of the season, the EMHR’s Vosburg Neck State Park Night Hike, will take place on Saturday, October 24. This free event is open to all ages. Registration details can be found at www.emheritage.com/events.

Yesterday, the EMHR went out to explore some of the Susquehanna County Heritage Trail at the Susquehanna County Historical Society and Center for Anti-Slavery Studies (CASS) in Montrose before heading to The Dennis Farm for a Destination Freedom: Underground Railroad Walking Tour with the Waverly Community House. We're so excited to bring this program to the Endless Mountains and partner with The Comm so we can showcase our region's involvement in the Underground Railroad and abolitionist movement of the 19th century. Thank you to all of you who came out to visit these incredible heritage sites!

What an absolutely epic day and group of paddlers we had for EMHR’s Fall Heritage Benefit Paddle today, as we paddled from Nichols, NY to Sayre along the Susquehanna River North Branch Water Trail to benefit the Sayre Historical Society Museum! After finishing the scenic 11-mile paddle with our great guides from Endless Mountain Outfitters, the group of 35 headed to Bluestone Brewing Company for a catered dinner, live entertainment from Jenna Buck, and a presentation about America250PA - Bradford County from Sayre Mayor Henry Farley. Couldn't have asked for better weather or a better group of guests for our final paddle of 2026! Thank you to everyone who came out!
