KTA is coordinating special outings to the amazing Kittatinny Ridge. 
​

While the Kittatinny Ridge Conservation Landscape is gaining in notoriety in defining a local sense of place, providing exceptional outdoor recreation venues, supporting critical habitat and migratory pathways, and performing vital natural functions (e.g., drinking water, carbon sequestration, etc.), it will continue to benefit from more people in the greater region learning about its superlative values. These hikes are such an opportunity—facilitating visceral experiences with the resource.​
