The Center for the Environments mission is to inspire curiosity in land use management and watershed stewardship through education and immersion. Each part of its campus is specifically designed to uphold that goal. The outdoor cafe, gathering spaces and constructed wetlands each do their part to bring visitors closer to nature and provide better understanding about sustainable practices for improving our place in the world.
The materials used in these spaces are all recycled or local. The decking for the boardwalks and observation decks is recycled composite decking material. The movable outdoor furniture in the outdoor cafe seating are is made from recycled plastics. The brick pavers are reclaimed road brick and provide a rustic feel to the site. The limestone outcrop forming the back wall of the outdoor cafe is made from local rock and planted with native species to create a cool and relaxing microclimate under the dappled shade of thornless honeylocusts. The dual-direction seat walls are made of local limestone as well and will age and weather
beautifully. Lastly, the runnels are lined with local alluvial rocks, mimicking a natural stream bed. Hardscapes are not the only local items used in this design. All plant material is native. The deciduous plantings in the outdoor gathering spaces provide shade in the summer and drop their leaves in the fall to allow warm, southern sunlight to enter the buildings and plazas for fall and winter use of the spaces. The wetland is filled with native species that filter the runoff collected from the roof tops and hardscapes of the CfE. The native xeric limestone prairie species have been reintroduced to the site and serve a dual purpose of protecting the delicate karst topography form erosion and providing education and immersion opportunities for visitors, as well as an aesthetically pleasing, rolling foreground to the majestic views of Mount Nittany. Brought together these outdoor spaces provide places for relaxation, recreation, education and immersion in the ecological, hydrological, and geological systems of our region.

The primary function of this masterplan
is to protect the sensitive ecological areas of the Spring Creek Canyon Parcels and
educate visitors about them. Goals of the Ecological Conservation areas are to conserve important wildlife
habitats, maintain and improve biodiversity, and to protect water quality. This will be done by severely limiting development
and activities within this area. Only minimal impact activities will be allowed including walking/running/hiking, fishing, biking, bird
watching, and sightseeing. Biking will be kept to trails to limit impact to the ecology. Areas for reforestation or specified plantings are shown
on the map. Structures within the Ecological Conservation area must not negatively impact the ecology of the parcels. Prior to any construction, an archaeological survey must be conducted in the area (see Historical Preservation Areas). Roads and parking lots will be constructed adjacent to existing roads so as to minimize any further impact. Roads and parking lots will be constructed of permeable materials, swales will be constructed to maintain any excess runoff and trees will be planted where necessary to cut down on heat island effect. Restroom
facilities will recycle graywater from their roofs for flushing toilets and the toilets will be composting toilets where applicable.
Trails will be constructed with minimal impact to the area. Trails will follow the contour of the land so as to not
require cut and fill excavation. Trees over 6 caliper will not be removed for the trails. The trail
will consist of local crushed rock to naturally inhibit weed growth.
The secondary function of this masterplan
is to uncover and preserve historical remnant from this regions past.
Development of any kind is not permitted in this area until an archaeological survey is
conducted of the area slated for development. Any historical artifacts that are found will be preserved
and documented and then are the responsibility if the educational center. Areas of historical
preservation that exist outside of the Ecological Conservation area may be converted to agriculture
or development if no artifacts are found. This conversion would be up to the discretion of
Penn State University and Benner Township. In areas that overlap with Ecological
Conservation, the Ecological Conservation rules apply.

Ecological Preservation is extremely important in the Spring Creek
Canyon Parcels. This area has experienced minimal impact from development due to its previous ownership
by Rockview State Penitentiary. Important sensitive habitat areas have been identified within the parcels
and a good portion of the land is still contiguous forest. Its steep slopes provide areas of biodiversity as the elevation changes quickly in a small area and the steepness prevents human interference. The streams in
this area are classified as Class A Trout streams and need to be
maintained for the health of the fish and the
watershed.
The sub maps listed A through F below depict elements that
would either hinder or aid in the decision of what areas of the Spring Creek Canyon Parcels should be protected and
set aside for conservation. The elements that would hinder are human influences such as power lines,
development, and forest fragmentation. The natural elements that should
be conserved and would aid in maintaining biodiversity are
riparian areas, steeper slopes, and previously
identified sensitive habitat areas.

regions prehistory. Many archaeological sites have already been found and identified. For others, historical
documentation exists describing their locations. It is suggested in the TAC Cultural Resource Issues/
Opportunities report that artifacts may exist in the parcels form the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries and that perhaps 95% or more of the archaeological resources have not been identified within the parcels. It is very
important to preserve this regions heritage and to keep the land
from being developed until further excavations
can occur.
The sub maps listed A through D below depict elements that
would either hinder or aid in the decision of what areas of the Spring Creek Canyon Parcels should be preserved
as historical sites. The elements that would hinder are human influences such as modern construction
and roads as these cause disturbances of archaeological areas. The elements
that would indicate what areas should be preserved are
areas in close proximity to existing historical
sites and areas near water
sources.

Though the majority of the Spring Creek Canyon Parcels should
be preserved for ecological and historical purposes, it is inevitable that some development must occur
within the site, especially if a historical and ecological education center is to be implemented in the area. Any
development slated for this site should have minimal ecological impact upon the parcels and be an energy efficient structure. The building would be placed in a south, south-east, or south-west aspect to allow for natural light
year round. The building would be placed near existing structures
and roads so as to maintain minimal impact upon
the land.
The sub maps listed A through H below depict elements that would
either hinder or aid in the decision of what areas of the Spring Creek Canyon Parcels would be suitable for development.
The elements that would hinder are sensitive ecological areas such as riparian areas, sensitive habitats,
historical sites, forest, steep slope and poor soil quality. The elements that
would allow for development are accessibility from existing
roads, southern exposure, proper soils and slopes
that support construction.

The Spring Creek Canyon Parcels are abundant with natural beauty
that should be experienced by the people of the region. Passive recreation in the forms of walking, fishing, bird
watching and site-seeing should be encouraged within the parcels to foster appreciation for the area. This
map shows the areas where trails for could be implemented. The trails would be connected to existing roads to allow for easy access and minimal impact. A trail head would start from the education center so tours
could be taken through the parcels. Nodes along the trails would
give information and provide excellent
views.
The sub maps listed A through H below depict elements that would
either hinder or aid in the decision of what areas of the Spring Creek Canyon Parcels would be suitable areas for passive
recreation. The elements that would hinder passive recreation are proximity to sensitive habitat
areas, poor viewsheds, and inaccessibility due to steep slopes. Areas that would
be valuable for passive recreation are areas in close proximity to
the streams, areas with great viewsheds and
areas accessible by existing
roads.

What is the Creative Vitality Index?
arts-related creative enterprises and the key service activities that support them.
What does a CVI number mean?A regions CVI value is compared to a national baseline score of 1.00. For example, a locality with a CVI of 1.30 has a 30 percent stronger creative vitality score than the nation as a whole. In this report, Philadelphia County and the 11-County Philadelphia Metropolitan Region will be compared to local, state and national benchmarks.
A CVI measures two major components: Community Participation and EmploymentIn order to calculate a regions CVI, a carefully selected set of economic inputs related to the arts and creativity in a given geographic area are measured using publicly available data on
underlying theory is that public participation in the arts or public demand for arts experiences and events is ultimately driving organizational budgets and funding levels, which in turn support artists and arts-related jobs within the economy.

in conclusion
1. ARTS + CULTURE MEANS JOBS.
Through both direct and indirect spending, Greater Philadelphias arts and cultural organizations and our audiences have a total economic impact of $3.3 billion, providing residents with 44,000 jobs. This economic activity also helps generate more than $169 million in tax revenues for state and local coffers money that is leveraged to pay for other vital services, including teachers, police, firefighters and transportation.
2. PHILADELPHIA IS OUTPERFORMING THE COUNTRY AS A WHOLE.
Our regions cultural sector is ranked first for job creation, providing 10.9 jobs per thousand residents nearly double the national average. Southeastern Pennsylvania ranks second for per-capita cultural spending, and we far exceed the national average for percentage of attendees who are visitors (29% to 21%). Arts and culture is a unique competitive advantage for this region one that can be leveraged by civic, business and policy leaders to ensure greater prosperity and economic growth for our regions citizens.
3. GREATER PHILADELPHIAS BUSINESS COMMUNITY THRIVES WITH A STRONG AND VIBRANT CULTURAL SECTOR.
Cultural organizations buy and hire locally, and audiences spend their money at businesses close to those venues, events and attractions. These cultural dollars then ripple through our economy, benefiting a diversity of industries throughout the entire region. Beyond the $1.4 billion in direct spending by cultural organizations and their audiences, another $1.9 billion of indirect spending is generated. This spending benefits an array of related sectors including Manufacturing, Finance, Insurance, Real Estate, Hospitality and Retail.
4. ARTS + CULTURE REVITALIzES NEIGHBORHOODS AND MAKES OUR COMMUNITIES STRONGER.
Throughout our region in technology corridors, county seats, inner-ring suburbs and urban neighborhoods culture provides the civic glue. Art galleries, cultural organizations and community partners are helping to create unique and eclectic retail and food hubs, revitalizing Main Streets and providing healthy outlets for our youth.
5. CULTURAL DOLLARS SUPPORT FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE REGION.
Spending by organizations and audiences travels far from the original point of purchase. Its impact is diverse and its benefits widely distributed. Jobs are created across nearly every industry, with over $1 billion in household income generated for our regions residents. This money buys groceries, pays rent and utilities, pays school tuition and starts new businesses.

To determine what areas adjacent to the Loyalsock trail are of the most cultural importance, and therefore areas that should be slated for viewshed conservation, patterns of collections of crowd-sourced, georeferenced photos were analyzed. Google Earth displays photos through Panoramio, its image hosting website counterpart. Not only are there high resolution, quality photos available for viewing, but each image has significant metadata associated with it. Using a digtized path of the Loyalsock trail as a guide loaded into Google Earth, one can observe where clusters of photos occur, usually of the same element photographed by many people. In addition to these clusters, Panoramio has features that allow images to be sorted into popularity, depending on how many times the individual image has been viewed. These locations were chosen because there was evidence of photo clusters and the individual images were chosen based on a normalized number of views per day since its original post.
