Students interested in learning about internships and careers in health policy can hear from a variety of industry professionals during a panel discussion hosted by the Penn State Health Policy and Administration Consortium from 6 to 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 15, via Zoom.
Josh Graham, a senior at Penn State Beaver and a Marine Corps veteran, hangs a sign on the door of the new veterans lounge on campus. The room is meant to be a place for student veterans to gather and find resources.
A group of student veterans is working to build a community at Penn State Beaver where veterans can find support and connect with others who have shared experiences in the military.
Three-leafed plants are generally larger, the researchers noted, and by targeting those plants, foragers put less of a dent in the population, especially if they are selling commercially.
Sampling was conducted at three sites located in Cambria County, Pennsylvania. One population was on private property and located on a sloped forest bench. Populations two and three were located on public lands on upland ridge tops. All populations originated as wild plants, but one was managed for about 10 years as a forest farm.
Based on this study’s results, one way to promote ramp conservation is to delay ramp harvests until about 30 days after emergence in the spring to ensure that the maximum bulb size has been reached.
It can take many years for plant populations in ramp patches like this to rebound from even modest harvests, researchers warn. With the increased interest and demand for ramps, they want to learn and promote how to best steward wild populations of the forest herb.
