This is our final post for the project! We enjoyed learning everything we could about fracking and its harmful effects on the environment. All four of the members in this group have put forth a continuous effort to help the environment by working at Hawk Mountain in Schuylkill County. We have met so many people and explored new areas about hawks that we would never have known about had it been for this project. We look forward to doing more projects in the future and exploring further into the sustainability of our earth. WE hope all the viewers have learned a lot as well from this project, and if anyonehas any questions, they can feel free to contact u at our Penn State emails. Thank you all for your time!

This is Nathan helping to dig a hole in the ground for foundation posts. We were all working on this this hole and it was probably the most challenging hole we dug that day. It was full of rocks and very thick tree roots. Ultimately we got the job done though.

Today we discussed what work had to be done and divided it up among all of us. A Google folder has been created and the work has begun on the project. We expect to be done the project by April 15! Hopefully we will have some extra time in the end to really connect our project with the community.

We are riding in the bed of a truck with some heavy wooden beams we had salvaged. The beams came from a trailside information center we had spent all morning tearing down, and were riding the truck to help unload the beams where they could be stored until they are needed.

Team Swag Introduction for Hawk Mountain 3/7/2015

James UnellHawk Mountain

Hello everyone! This is just an introductory post to give everyone an idea of who our group is, our mission for this project, and a little about each member here at the Penn State Berks campus.

James Unell is a sophomore studying Security and Risk Analysis from Orwigsburg, Pennsylvannia.

Nathan Faust is a sophomore studying Information Sciences and Technology from Orwigsburg, Pennsylvannia.

Leif Greiss is a sophomore studying Journalism from Hamburg, Pennsylvannia.

Phillip Kondracki is a sophomore studying Marketing from Coatesville, Pennsylvannia.

Our group has chosen to work with the Hawk Mountain Sanctuary to build a zip line path around the mountain. We will also be cleaning the already established paths as spring comes closer and the snow melts. Our team has a lot of enthusiasm going into this project and we hope to make a difference in our community, one project at a time. We are also researching new and greener methods of fracking in our surrounding areas and presenting them to our fellow friends and community.  We will continue to post on the website as the project moves along. Thank you for your time!
