The Montour Preserve will be hosting the third annual Environmental Education Expo from 9am to 2pm on Saturday, Feb. 7, 2026, as an ideal way to beat cabin fever with hands-on nature-based learning for all ages, according to Vernal School Program Supervisor Marissa Crames.

"The Environmental Education Expo offers a unique opportunity to connect with nature, learn from local experts and explore activities designed for learners of all ages," she said. "Whether you are an educator, a family or just curious to learn more, the expo offers inspiration, resources and connections."

Previous events have brought hundreds of people to the Montour Preserve each February, giving the venue increased awareness a few weeks before its annual popular maple sugaring program, scheduled in 2026 for Feb. 28.

Kelly Gallo, environmental education specialist with the Pennsylvania Game Commission, will present a program titled “The Pennsylvania Snowshoe Hare: A Master of Seasonal Survival” at 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 17, 2026, in the auditorium at Montour Preserve’s Environmental Education Center. The presentation will offer an in-depth look at one of northern Pennsylvania’s most remarkable residents, the snowshoe hare.
