Berks Nature and You!

Jo Painter welcomes Kim Murphy, President of Berks Nature, to the People Chronicles as they begin their new series! 'Berks Nature and You'. You will find Berks Nature behind the scenes of much that we take for granted ... clean water, urban gardens, maintained trail system, preserved land and so much more! If it has to do with the outdoors Berks Nature is likely involved. Kim Murphy talks about the variety of initiatives Berks Nature handles. Berks Nature works with land managers and watershed authorities to protect our water supply and preserve our land. Berks Nature is building a new Nature Center at Angelica Park where they are already conducting field trips and educational programs. Berks Nature hosts tailor field trips around specific topics and age groups. This small but mighty staff is developing a number of diversified programs to offer to the community. Berks Nature works with BAMBA to maintain hiking and biking trails and manages 10 urban gardens in the City of Reading.
