Steve Rannels’s "Pennsylvania Spring" is a journey through parts of Penn's Woods that starts with the first signs of spring, the Northward movement of waterfowl, through sequential changes in plant, animal and insect life. It is a calendar of a naturalist's love for spring. “The program will include samples from my personal library of accumulated photographs, videos and sound recordings. Be prepared to get the ‘fever’!” Steve attended Penn State University as a zoology major and then obtained a PhD in physiology at the Penn State University College of Medicine in Hershey. He gives talks on a variety of subjects in the natural sciences to bird clubs, Audubon and conservancy groups and educational centers.

Rain gardens are an easy and beautiful way to capture water that would otherwise run off and carry sediment and pollutants into our streams. Connie Schmotzer, the Consumer Horticulture Educator for York County’s Penn State Cooperative Extension, will explain how rain gardens work, give you some tips on construction and share a palette of plants that will thrive in each rain garden zone.
