A great story from the North Branch! Patriots Cove received a donation from proceeds raised during the Endless Mountains Heritage Region's Summer Heritage Benefit Paddle with Susquehanna Kayak & Canoe Rentals!
Yesterday, we had the honor of donating $500 to Jeff Swire and Patriots Cove in Noxen that was raised during the EMHR's Summer Heritage Benefit Paddle in July with Susquehanna Kayak & Canoe Rentals and Bartolai Winery! Swire, a military veteran, created this 40-acre sanctuary in Wyoming County to empower veterans, first responders, and their caregivers to heal, reconnect, and adapt to life after service through meaningful outdoor and restorative experiences. Patriots Cove is also a steward of Bowman's Creek, leading conservation efforts to ensure a healthy ecosystem for its trout and other aquatic life. We're proud to support an organization that helps veterans and first responders by connecting them with the outdoors and promoting environmental stewardship. Keep up the great work!
