Join Wildlands Conservancy for a guided hike through the remarkable landscape of Lehigh Gap Nature Center, where one of the region's most impressive environmental restoration stories continue to unfold. Decades of zinc smelting left this area severely contaminated, but extensive restoration efforts beginning in the 1980s transformed barren rock slopes into thriving habitats filled with native plants and wildlife. Today, otters, beavers, and a variety of bird species can be found throughout the preserve's 756 acres and 13 miles of trails. 

Our approximately 2.2-mile loop hike begins on the L&amp;NE Trail, where interpretive displays highlight the area's mining and railroad history. We'll visit viewpoints overlooking the site of the former New Jersey Zinc Company's West Plant before continuing along the Bobolink Trail and returning via the Delaware &amp; Lehigh National Heritage Corridor Trail, a level crushed-stone trail that is part of the larger 165-mile D&amp;L Trail stretching from Bristol to Wilkes-Barre. 

Participants who would like a little more adventure can join an optional walk around the 0.4-mile Prairie Warbler Loop, which features native, pollinator-friendly plant communities. Arrive early to explore the exhibits in the Osprey House Visitor Center and enjoy the beautiful native wildflower gardens.These programs are possible thanks to generous funding from Jefferson + LVHN.

Pennsylvania National Quilt Extravaganza is the center of it all for quilt, wearable and textile art! A highlight of this year’s event is a special exhibition by 7-time Tony Award-winning actor and playwright Harvey Fierstein. Best known for writing La Cage aux Folles and Kinky Boots and starring as Edna in Hairspray, Harvey has been making quilts for more than 30 years. During the COVID lockdown, his passion for quilting flourished, inspiring a remarkable collection of quilt art that the Extravaganza is thrilled to premiere. In addition, the festival will display over 30 special exhibitions from regional guilds such as the Philadelphia Modern Quilt Guild, PieceMakers Quilters and the Sankofa Artisans, travelling quilt collections and the annual national judged competition. Once again Mancuso Show Management sponsored the juried exhibition, Celebration of Women: A Quilter’s Perspective with a portion of the entry fees going to A Woman’s Place (AWP), the only domestic violence community benefit organization in Bucks County, PA. Shopping is a must at the event Merchant’s Mall with a diverse assortment of vendors selling sewing machines, fabric, wool, clothing, notions and more. Attendees can sit in on, at no additional charge, several midday lectures and product demonstrations. Back by popular demand are Fashion Friday, an attendee-driven fashion show, and Sticker Saturday, where collecting stickers can earn you a prize. New this year, the Brandywine Rug Hooking Guild will offer rug hooking demonstrations throughout the event. Quilters and textile artists can also preregister for workshops taught by a nationally recognized faculty. This year’s event is sponsored by Major Sponsors: BERNINA/Hayes Sewing Machine Company, BERNINA Longarm/Domesticity, Brother/Byrne Sewing, Baby Lock/Hayes Sewing Machine Company, Janome/Pocono Sew &amp; Vac and Husqvarna Viking &amp; Pfaff/Sew ‘n Place. Open to the public, show tickets can be purchased on-site. General admission is $18 and includes re-admission for all days. Sunday only general admission is $16. Accompanied children under the age of 16 are admitted free. Discounted tickets for groups of 20 or more can be arranged by contacting our office at (215) 862-5828. The Extravaganza’s daily hours are Thursday through Saturday 10:00 am to 5:00 pm and Sunday 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.
