LOCK HAVEN, Pa. - If “Cabin Fever” has you down, relief is only a few mouse-clicks away. The February issue of The Hemlock, Lock Haven University’s journal on outdoor recreation, the environment, and central Pennsylvania’s heritage and culture, is now available on the web.

To motivate readers to get out and about, this month’s Hemlock features articles on “A Woolrich Experience,” “Presque Isle” and the “Hike of the Month: The Mid-State Trail in Winter.” The issue also features articles on two environmental issues. “Saving Hemlocks” explains how the hemlock woolly adelgid (a sap-sucking insect) is destroying native hemlocks, with potentially disastrous consequences for Pennsylvania’s economy, wildlife, and hunting and fishing. “The U.S. Role in the Climate Change Summit” focuses on the issue of climate change.

These articles and others are available online at http://www.lhup.edu/hemlock/hemlock3.4.htm.

The Hemlock is a publication of LHU’s Environmental Focus Group, whose goal is to help the LHU community develop a deeper sense of place. The articles are contributed by LHU faculty, staff, students and administrators, as well as by members of the central Pennsylvania community.
