DCNR dedicates Raphael J. Musto
Environmental Education Center at Nescopeck State Park
Named for Sen. Raphael J. Musto (D-Luzerne/Carbon/Monroe), long-time supporter
of environmental education and the 3,500-acre park, the new center will serve as
the hub of park activities. It houses extensive environmental education
programs servicing area school districts and communities, visitor services, and
staff offices. Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Secretary
Michael DiBerardinis joined other state officials on April 28,
2004 in dedicating the new center.
Listen to Senator Musto's comments
| “School children
from surrounding counties, teacher groups, and visitors from neighboring
communities all will be drawn to this beautiful facility to learn more
about the bounty of natural resources with which this state is blessed,”
said Secretary DiBerardinis. “This gathering today at this unique and beautiful
park to dedicate the Raphael J. Musto Environmental Education and Visitor Center
is a fitting tribute to a true champion of Pennsylvania’s environment.” |
