“A $3,000 donation from two environmentally active Lower Frederick residents will fund what PV Woods says will be Pennsylvania’s first “Nature Megaphone.”

Diane Muldrow's book We Planted a Tree selected for Muhlenberg Woods Storybook Trail, soon to feature Pennsylvania's first Nature Megaphone

Larry Cohen and Lower Frederick Township Supervisor Vice Chair Marla Hexter made the contribution to create a large wooden acoustic structure designed to collect and amplify birdsong, rustling leaves and other subtle sounds of the forest…

…PV Woods intends for its megaphone to serve as a destination at the end of the Muhlenberg Woods Storybook Trail, which combines a walk through nature with pages from a children’s book displayed at 22 stations.

The featured stories are changed quarterly. The current Muhlenberg Woods selection is “We Planted a Tree” by Diane Muldrow, which follows families around the world as they plant trees and experience the environmental benefits over time.”
