Hikes With Herrin A Chance To Speak With State Representative

WEST CHESTER, PA — Hikes with Herrin are a thing, so starting Oct. 10 the Pennsylvania 156th District Representative will hike Birmingham Hill in Chester County with residents, taking up issues like open space preservation for starters.

State Rep. Dianne Herrin (D-156th) announced her "Hikes with Herrin" event series on Monday. She said the plan is to allow a way for residents to discuss some of the pressing issues facing our commonwealth with her. She said this can be done "while enjoying the best public open spaces our community has to offer."

The first event on Sunday, Oct. 10, will focus on the effort to preserve open space here at home and across Pennsylvania. Each hike is scheduled to run for an hour and will start at the Birmingham Hill Trailhead, 1272 Birmingham Road, West Chester, with one group leaving at 1 p.m. and another at 2 p.m.

"I am looking forward to this unique event, and to the opportunity to talk one-on-one with those I serve while exercising and enjoying some fresh air together," Herrin said.

Those interested in attending should RSVP by contacting Herrin’s office by email at RepHerrin@pahouse.net or calling 610-696-4990.
