2/15/19In December, Penn State President Eric Barron announced that the University has partnered with ClearWater Conservancy to explore environmentally responsible land use options for the roughly 365 acres it owns between Whitehall Road and Rothrock State Forest at Musser Gap.
Barron was also eager to engage students in this project as a real-world learning opportunity. At the request of the Office of the President, the Department of Landscape Architecture took the reins of the design project and Eliza Pennypacker, professor and head of the department, jumped at the opportunity to lead this important effort.
