Enjoy a walk through one of Rothrock State Forest’s newest additions, Dry Hollow. Acquired by Clearwater Conservancy, then transferred to DCNR in 2021, this 1,200-acre parcel is reminiscent of its neighboring habitat – the Scotia Barrens State Game Lands 176. DCNR staff will lead you on a guided tour highlighting the important juxtaposition of vernal pool, forest, and early successional habitats. The historical land use of this property (under the Dry Hollow Hunting Club) offers a diverse look into land management decisions that influence the deer, gamebirds, and amphibians that make Dry Hollow their home.
