A Word From SATC’s President

There is no doubt about it, Covid-19 has turned our lives upside down. When I look at a definition of the word “club”, it is an organization of people with a common purpose or interest, who meet regularly and take part in shared activities.
Thankfully,  we have been able to return to doing routine trail maintenance, and are offering  group hikes again  with social distancing and covid-19 guidelines in place.  It's been a relief to get back out on the trails.
Until we get together again, stay healthy. I look forward to seeing everyone soon.

Hunting Seasons In Pa 
Just a reminder that various hunting seasons i.e. small game are already open this time of year.  Wearing blaze orange when hiking in the woods during October and November is advisable for staying safe during hunting season. However, on state game lands in Pennsylvania, all hunters and non-hunters are required to wear at least 250 square inches of fluorescent orange material on the head, chest and back combined, or a fluorescent orange hat, from Nov. 15 to Dec. 15. The orange material must be visible from all angles (360 degrees). 
And please note that there has been 3 designated Sundays that hunting is allowed in Pennsylvania – here are the dates: Sunday, Nov. 15 for archery deer hunting, Sunday, Nov. 22 for bear hunting during the bear firearms season, and Sunday, Nov. 29 for deer hunting during the firearms deer season. Here is a 2020-21 Digest Pocket Guide for PA Hunting seasons.
