Wild Boy and Rock Ridge Roads
Susquehannock State Forest

Two areas in Susquehannock State Forest, one along Rock Ridge Road and the other on Wild Boy Road, were returned to their natural states on May Pile of Shingles15, 2003. Appliances and other rusting metal, old household trash, and a large pile of shingles marred the otherwise serene beauty of the areas.

The contractor, Parson Excavating & Septic Service of St. Mary's, PA, winched the heavy items up a steep slope at the Wild Boy Road site. On Rock Ridge Road, equipment was used to scoop the shingles and other trash, removing a total of 1.5 tons of trash and tires and recycling .5 ton metal.
