Thaddeus "Ted" Ligenza, forester at Sproul Forest District, has been a long time friend of trails and the Keystone Trails Association. Ted exemplifies public employees maximizing the benefits achievable through public-private partnerships. Pennsylvania’s trails have benefited greatly from Ted’s work in the Forest District and with the KTA and other trail oriented organizations.
In addition to his regular job duties, Ted is instrumental in the organizing of the annual KTA Prowl the Sproul Hiking Weekend. He has a strong working relationship with Keystone Trails Association, and has been invaluable to promoting the hiking trails of the PA Wilds region. He has received its prestigious “Golden Pulaski Award” for his exemplary work on the Sproul State Forest District trails, and has just recently been presented with a 2012 DCNR Excellence Award. Congratulations, Ted, and thank you for your commitment to Pennsylvania's hiking trails!
