WE ALSO BEGAN PLANNING, REORGANIZING, AND RECRUITING ARTISTS FOR THE TENTH ANNUAL EVENT SCHEDULED FOR FEBRUARY OF 2026. WE ALSO CONTINUED TO ADMINISTER AND MANAGE THE CREATION OF A PROJECT TO INCREASE VISITATION TO THE ALLEGHENY NATIONAL FOREST IN HONOR OF THE 100-YEAR HISTORY ITS CREATION IN 1923. TWENTY-EIGHT INDIVIDUAL GEOCACHES WERE DEVELOPED AND PLACED AT SPECIFIC HISTORIC LOCATIONS WITHIN THE FOUR COUNTIES COMPRISING THE ALLEGHENY NATIONAL FOREST. PENNSOIL RC&D CREATED THE PASSPORT DOCUMENT AND MADE IT AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC DOWNLOAD FROM OUR WEBSITE. THE EXACT LOCATIONS WERE PUBLISHED ON THE INTERNET AND GPS COORDINATES WERE USED FOR THE PUBLIC TO SEEK OUT THE GEOCACHES. GEOCACHERS WOULD BE ABLE TO FIND THE GEOCACHES AND RECORD THE DATES THEY FOUND THE SPECIFIC GEOCACHES ON THEIR PASSPORT AS WELL AS RECORDING THEIR EXPERIENCE AND COMMENTS ONLINE. GEOCACHERS WHO WOULD FIND 20 OUT OF THE 28 GEOCACHES WOULD BE ABLE TO REDEEM THEIR PASSPORT DOCUMENTS FOR A FREE SOUVENIR TOKEN COMMEMORATING THE CREATION OF THE ALLEGHENY NATIONAL FOREST. THE PROJECT AGREEMENT TO CREATE THE GEO-TRAIL BEGAN IN FEBRUARY OF 2023 AND ENDED ON DECEMBER 31, 2025. HOWEVER, THE PROJECT CONTINUES TO BE AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC RECREATIONAL ACTIVITY. A TOTAL OF 1625 INDIVIDUAL FINDS WERE RECORDED IN 2025. WE ALSO DID PUBLIC EDUCATIONAL PRESENTATIONS ON THE USE OF GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEMS AND THE OUTDOOR RECREATIONAL ACTIVITY OF GEOCACHING. WE ALSO PARTNERED WITH THE ALLEGHENY OUTDOOR CLUB TO REPRINT INTERPRETIVE SIGNS IN NEED OF REPAIR ALONG SELF-GUIDED NATURE TRAILS AT THE BIG BEND RECREATION AREA AT KINZUA DAM AND CO-SPONSORED THE EAGLE WATCH EVENT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. WE ALSO ASSISTED THE ALLEGHENY NATIONAL FOREST CHAPTER OF THE NORTH COUNTY TRAIL ASSOCIATION RELOCATE 1.2 MILE SECTION OF THE NORTH COUNTY TRAIL OFF A PUBLIC ROAD ONTO ADJACENT FOREST LAND IN FOREST COUNTY, PA BY PROVIDING FUNDING FOR PURCHASE OF MATERIALS USED IN THE TRAIL RELOCATION PROJECT AND FOR CREATING FOUR INTERPRETIVE SIGNS TO DENOTE SIGNIFICANT HISTORICAL LOCATIONS ALONG THE NEW TRAIL SEGMENT. THE NORTH COUNTY NATIONAL SCENIC TRAIL (NCNST) IS THE LONGEST IN THE NATIONAL TRAIL SYSTEMS, STRETCHING ALMOST 4800 MILES ACROSS EIGHT STATES FROM NORTH DAKOTA TO VERMONT. IN THEIR EFFORTS TO PROVIDE A PREMIER HIKING EXPERIENCE, THE NORTH COUNTY TRAIL ASSOCIATION (NCTA) HAS A GOAL TO GET THE MAJORITY OF ITS TRAIL OFF PUBLIC ROADS. WE ALSO CONTINUED TO SUPPORT THE MAINENANCE OF THE BABY ARCH MONUMENT PROJECT TO HONOR THE 280 LOCAL LABORERS THAT HELPED FABRICATE THE STAINLESS STEEL SECTIONS OF THE GATEWAY ARCH BUILT IN WARREN COUNTY AND ULTIMATELY ERECTED AT THE NATIONAL PARK IN ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI. THE PURPOSE OF OUR WORK IS TO UTILIZE AVAILABLE NATURAL AND HISTORIC RESOURCES WITHIN OUR REGION TO IMPROVE TOURISM OPPORTUNITIES, PROVIDE OUTDOOR RECREATION TO THE PUBLIC, AND IMPROVE THE LOCAL ECONOMY. SOCIAL AND WATER CONSERVATION: IN 2024 AND 2025, PENN SOIL RD&D ACCEPTED A PROJECT THAT INCLUDED SCHEDULING MEETINGS FOR INDIVIDUALS OR GROUPS SUCH AS WOMEN IN AGRICULTURE, THE AMISH POPULATION, VETERANS, NEW AND BEGINNING FARMERS, AND/OR INDIVIDUALS INTERESTED IN DEVELOPING URBAN FARMING ENTERPRISES EITHER IN PERSON OR REMOTELY TO HELP ACQUAINT THEM WITH THE REQUIREMENTS FOR RECEIVING TECHNICAL OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FROM USDA NRCS. WE ALSO HELPED PROMOTE NRCS CONSERVATION PROGRAMS AND ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA, REMOTE LEARNING ONLINE VIA ZOOM INVITATION, AND OUR WEBSITE WWW.PENNSOIL.ORG. WE RECEIVED NOTIFICATION ON MARCH 15, 2025 THAT THIS GRANT WAS TERMINATED BY THE NEW FEDERAL ADMINISTRAION. WE HOSTED TWO PUBLIC EDUCATIONAL MEETINGS FOR LIVESTOCK PRODUCERS TO HELP THEM MANAGE THEIR GRASSLANDS MORE EFFECTIVELY TO IMPROVE SOIL HEALTH AND PROFITABILITY OF THEIR FARMING OPERATIONS. THE RESULTS OF THIS EFFORT WILL INCREASE OPPORTUNITES FOR PRIVATE LANDOWNERS TO MANAGE THEIR LANDS BETTER, PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT, IMPROVE WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT, AND INCREASE ECONOMIC RETURNS FROM THEIR LANDS. WE ALSO PARTNERED WITH THE ASSOCIATION OF WARM SEASON GRASS PRODUCERS TO RAISE FUNDS AND COMPLETED A 3-YEAR ON-FARM FIELD RESEARCH TRIAL OF IMPROVED WARM-SEASON GRASS VARIETIES. THIS PROJECT EVALUATED THE ESTABLISHMENT AND YIELD OF NEW SWITCHGRASS AND BIG BLUESTEM VARIETIES ON THREE SEPARATE FARMS IN PENNSYLVANIA. THIS INCLUDED MEASUREMENTS OF SEEDLING DENSITY, MID-SEASON SWARD HEIGHTS, AND FALL BIOMASS YIELD. PROMISING NEW VARIETIES OF BOTH SWITCHGRASS AND BIG BLUESTEM ARE BEING RELEASED WITH GREATER YIELD AND GREATER DISEASE RESISTANCE. LITTLE IS KNOWN ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE OF THESE VARIETIES IN THE PENNSYLVANIA ECOREGION. BECAUSE RE-ESTABLISHING PERENNIAL GRASS FIELDS CAN BE SLOW AND RISKY, THIS PROJECT EVALUATED THE EARLY SWARD VIGOR AND BIOMASS YIELDS OF SIX NEW VARIETIES. THESE VARIABLES WERE EVALUATED USING A STRIP-PLOT DESIGN WITH TWO REPLICATES PER FARM ON THREE FIELDS PROVIDED BY MEMBERS OF ASSOCIATION OF WARM SEASON GRASS PRODUCERS. CONCLUSIONS OF THE STUDY HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED: AVERAGE END YEAR YIELD WAS 1.19 TONS PER ACRE, BUT 3RD YEAR WAS OVER 4 TONS PER ACRE. IN THE THIRD YEAR, TIMBER AND INDEPENDANCE VARIETIES PRODUCED AN AVERAGE OF 40% MORE BIOMASS THAN THE NEXT BEST UPLAND SWITCHGRASS CULTIVARS (RC CHIPPEWA AND CAVE-IN-ROCK). WE ALSO PARTNERED WITH THE US FOREST SERVICE TO ADVANCE AND COMPLETE A FIVE-YEAR STUDY AND ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF CARBON MODELING IN FOREST MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES IN PA AND MD AND EXPANDED THE PROGRAM TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH AND TRAINING ON FOREST CARBON MANAGEMENT THROUGH A SERIES OF FOUR ONLINE WEBINARS TO ALL STATE AND TRIBAL FORESTRY AGENCIES IN REGION 9 OF THE STATE AND PRIVATE FORESTRY SECTION OF THE US FOREST SERVICE. WE ALSO RECEIVED A CONVENING GRANT FROM THE FOUNDATION FOR PA WATERSHEDS TO ENABLE US TO ATTEND DISCOVER PRESQUE ISLE AND THE FOREST COUNTY YOUTH FIELD DAY TO PRESENT WATER SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION FREE TO THE PUBLIC AT THESE EVENTS. THIS INCLUDED PROPERLY FITTING KIDS AND ADULTS FOR PFDS, DEMONSTRATION HOW TO USE A THROW BAG TO PERFORM A SHORELINE RESCUE, INFORMATION ABOUT HYPERTHERMIA AND HYPOTHERMIA, COLD WATER SHOCK, HOW TO SIGNAL FOR HELP IN REMOTE REGIONS, NATIVE AND INVASIVE SPECIES, STORM WATER MANAGEMENT INFORMATION AND MORE. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: WE ACCEPTED NEW REQUESTS FOR ASSISTANCE FROM A VOLUNTEER SENIOR CITIZEN GROUP TO REPLACE A DETERIORATING FUNCTIONAL GREENHOUSE AT THE WARREN STATE HOSPITAL WHERE THE VOLUNTEERS WERE PLANTING SEEDS AND PRODUCING STARTER VEGETABLES AND FLOWER PLANTS FOR SALE TO THE COMMUNITY TO RAISE FUNDS IN SUPPORT OF DONATIONS TO OTHER COMMUNITY NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS IN WARREN COUNTY. THEIR LEASE ON THE OLD STATE-OWNED FACILITY WAS TERMINATE DUE TO STRUCTURAL DEFICIENCIES AND WE ARE NOW ACTIVELY DEVELOPING PROJECT NARRATIVES AND A BUDGET PLAN TO SOLICIT FUNDING TO BUILD A NEW GREENHOUSE FACILITY AT A LOCAL SENIOR CITIZEN RESIDENTIAL FACILITY WITHIN THE COUNTY TO ENA BLE THE GROUP TO CONTINUE TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY NEEDS. MEADVILLE AREA RECREATIONAL GARDENS TO CREATE A NEW URBAN FARMING ENTERPRISE TO GROW FRESH FOOD WITHIN THE CITY OF MEADVILLE AND SUBMITTED A FEDERAL GRANT PROPOSAL TO CREATE AND ON-THE-JOB TRAINING PROGRAM FOR A NEW AND BEGINNING FARMER TO PROVIDE NUTRITIOUS LOCALLY GROWN FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES FOR RESIDENTS OF MEADVILLES LOW-INCOME, LOW-ACCESS FOOD AREAS BY LAUNCHING THE FIRST URBAN FARMING OPERATION WITHIN THE CITY. LIKE MANY COMMUNITIES, MEADVILLE AND CRAWFORD COUNTY NEED NEW FARMERS ENTERING THE FIELD, PRODUCING GOOD FRESH PRODUCE, AND SELLING THROUGH LOCAL MARKETS, LIKE THE MEADVILLE MARKET HOUSE, EDINBORO MARKET, AND OTHER REGIONAL FARMERS MARKETS. A COMMITTED PARTNER IN THIS PROJECT IS THE MEADVILLE MARKET HOUSE. THE MARKET SERVES AN ESTIMATED POPULATION OF 85,000 RESIDENTS OF CRAWFORD COUNTY INCLUDING 13,000 RESIDENTS WITHIN THE CITY OF MEADVILLE WITH 18% OF RESIDENTS BELOW THE POVERTY LINE. THE MARKET HOUSE IS THE OLDEST, CONTINUOUSLY OPERATING FARMERS MARKET IN THE STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA AND CONNECTS FARMERS AND GROWERS WITH THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES TO OFFER LOCALLY PRODUCED FOOD PRODUCTS. THE MARKET HOUSE HAS COMMITTED TO SERVING AS AN OUTLET FOR A NEW FARMER AT THE MARC TOWN FARM, OFFERING INDOOR MARKET SPACE AND COLD STORAGE AS WELL AS SPACE IN THEIR WEEKLY FARMERS MARKET THE RUNS MAY-OCTOBER. AS AN OUTLET THAT ACCEPTS SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITIONAL ASSISTANCE PAYMENTS (SNAP), THE OUTLET THAT THE MARKET HOUSE PRESENTS WILL BE CRITICAL FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF LOCAL PRODUCTS GROWN BY THE NEW FARMER AT THE MARC TOWN
