Conservation District celebrates new education building

At a ribbon cutting ceremony held December 19th the Pike County Conservation District celebrated the new Conservation District Education Building, which adjoins the Blooming Grove School located on Route 402. The original Education Building was severely damaged by a large tree in July of 2003. In a cooperative effort by the County Commissioners, the Conservation District and the Blooming Grove Hunting and Fishing Club the new Education Building was constructed in summer/fall 2005. The Blooming Grove School Facility houses the Conservation District as well as the Pike County Office of Community Planning.
