State Recognizes Conservation Efforts At Historic Poole Forge BY FRANCINE FULTON

Although Historic Poole Forge is known for its history and scenic value, it is also a site that is dedicated to environment and conservation efforts, particularly those that involve the Conestoga Creek, which runs through the property. Because of a major project that included creek reconstruction work, Poole Forge was featured in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s

Partners for Fish and Wildlife 2019 Annual Report. The report recognizes only one conservation project from each state. “It’s a pretty big deal that they chose us as the project to highlight from the state of Pennsylvania,� said Dawn Rise Ekdahle, executive director of Poole Forge. “I am interested in the historic aspect (of the location), but my background is in ecology and the environment. I have a strong passion to improve the environment.� See Poole Forge pg 7
