ClearWater Conservancy is spending about $700,000 to buy 152 acres of land that’s part of the Galbraith Gap area in Harris Township. The nonprofit plans to turn the property over to the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Bureau of Forestry to be incorporated into the state forest. This will provide greater access to the Rothrock State Forest and will would allow the Tussey Mountain trail complex to be connected to Bald Knob Ridge Trail and Shingletown Gap via trails.
