Recognizing that some people may travel and arrive Sunday evening, we are looking at offering an optional Monday mid-morning tour out to the Penn State Environmental Center at Shaver’s Creek. (We have mountains here, and they are quite lovely).

Coming in on Sunday? Optional tour for the Early Birds on Monday Morning: We’ll take a van trip to Stone Valley, approximately 15 miles from State College to visit the Shaver’s Creek Environmental Center. The center was renovated in 2018 and includes an Aviary, Classrooms, a Discovery Room, and hiking trails situated adjacent to a lake in the ridge and valley area of Central Pennsylvania. Please fill out the form on https://sites.psu.edu/hefmapsu2023/ so that we can plan the travel arrangements.

CANCELLATION POLICY:

• All cancellations must be submitted in writing via email to tmm5620@psu.edu.
• No refunds will be provided for cancellations received after May 26. Paid registration fees will be used toward 2023 conference needs and any remaining funds will be transferred to HEFMA for future conference seed money.
