NEWVILLE — The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Secretary Cindy Adams Dunn joined state park and other DCNR officials on Tuesday in a visit to Colonel Denning State Park in Cumberland County for a demonstration of battery-powered tools.
“We are replacing gasoline-powered with battery-powered tools to further reduce our carbon footprint and lessen the noise from this equipment that impacts state park visitors enjoying the quiet of nature,” Dunn said.
Leonard Harrison, Lyman Run and Cherry Springs state parks have each been issued one of each of the following: new string trimmers, leaf blowers and chainsaws. The equipment is now being utilized at 20 state parks in all.
