Pre-Visit Reading Materials

Pennsylvania Wilds

Ta Enos, the Founding CEO of the PA Wilds Center, is unable to join us, BUT for background “homework”, folks can dive into the materials below.

Daily Yonder / Path Finder – Q&A: The Making of a Regional Outdoor Recreation Destination
Brookings Institute – On the Front Porch with Ta Enos

Both links reference a new memoir that Ta just released about her personal and professional journey and the history of the PA Wilds region called “PROUDLY MADE: A Story of Reinvention In the Big Woods and Smalls Towns of the Pennsylvania Wilds.” Folks can buy the book on the PA Wilds online marketplace here.
