Several Mount Nittany Conservancy board members and a volunteer arborist braved the weather this morning to remove 4 dead trees at the Mike Lynch Overlook to make it safer and more open for all.

Good vibes only.

Your love for Mount Nittany makes its conservation possible! And the work of conservation is costly. We are asking for your contribution today toward our Centre Gives fundraising goal for conservation work over the year to come. centregives.org/organizations/…

Your gift to Mount Nittany during Centre Gives will support new signage, brochures, trail maintenance, dead tree clearing, scenic overlook renewal, and erosion repair. centregives.org/organizations/…

“When General Potter first laid his eyes upon the Penns and Brush valleys sometime between 1756 and 1764, he famously declared from Mount Nittany, ‘By heavens … I have discovered an empire.’” statecollege.com/town-and-gown/…

“When we see Mount Nittany, we know we are home. And when we visit Old Willow at the heart of Penn State’s campus, we recognize our place as receivers of a tremendous gift from generations past as well as trustees of a living symbol for generations yet to be.” Tom Shakely
