Greetings!

Education is an important part of what we do at Penn Forest.  We enjoy educating the community not only about green burial, but also forest restoration.  You will see an example of this in an article below which provides details about our presentation at the Mother Earth News Fair.   

 

Also in this edition of ReNEWS, we are looking to hear from you by way of comments on blog posts, via a quick survey or by reaching out to us directly.  Your feedback is very valuable to us!

 

Sincerely,
