LHU online journal provides environmental updates, information on Marcellus Shale

LOCK HAVEN, Pa. - Ever wonder why leaves change color in the autumn? Are you aware that many of our state parks may be closed? These topics and more are featured in the October issue of The Hemlock, LHU’s online journal devoted to outdoor recreation, environmentalism and the culture of Pennsylvania.

In addition, the current issue of The Hemlock provides information and updates on the issue of drilling in the Marcellus Shale. This was the focus of the March 2009 issue, which was extremely popular.

To access The Hemlock, go to http://www.lhup.edu/rmyers3/Hemlock/Hemlock3.1.htm

Editor Bob Myers, chair of the English department, said, "I am excited about kicking off the third year of The Hemlock, and I hope that the community finds our articles interesting and informative. We have had great contributions from the community in the past and hope that others will submit items for future issues."
