Sinnemahoning Sentinel

Welcome to December! Baby, it’s cold outside, but I have some news that will warm your heart!

Our park staff have created a newsletter called the Sinnemahoning Sentinel. Now you can receive all of the park’s program dates and information, as well as a little fireside reading about wildlife watching, outdoor recreation, volunteer opportunities and more. The first edition is attached in a pdf format. Paper copies can also be picked up at the Wildlife Center. (Sorry, we are not able to send copies by postal mail.)

We hope you enjoy reading the Sinnemahoning Sentinel.

Meanwhile, for those of you who adjust to changes more gradually, I have listed below the upcoming programs for the months of December.

We hope to see you soon at Sinnemahoning State Park!
