Hawk Mountain Unveils New Educational Trail Kiosk and Map

Thanks to funding through partners at the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, Hawk Mountain designed and built a new kiosk that promotes the importance of the Kittatinny Conservation Landscape along with safe hiking tips and an updated, oversized map of the Sanctuary's 8+ mile trail system. Hawk Mountain’s award-winning stewardship team harvested salvaged chestnut oak wood to hewn and construct the sturdy, timber frame. 

The project was a large collaborative effort of several departments and was financed in part by a grant from the Community Conservation Partnerships Program, Environmental Stewardship Fund, under the administration of the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Bureau of Recreation and Conservation. The Kittatinny Ridge is a global, national, and state Important Bird Area that is vital to migratory birds for habitat and for its climate resiliency.
