HSF kiosks get a major upgrade

Harbison State Forest staff recently installed new signage on the kiosks that greet visitors at the HSF parking lot. The six large panels are the products of more than a year of collaboration between SCFC Communications staff, HSF personnel and the Friends of the Harbison State Forest.

The displays include a large HSF map as well as trail and other wayfinding information; forest rules and regulations; an explanation of a working forest dedicated to multiple-use management; and descriptions of self-led educational programs at Harbison.

This effort concludes the multi-year HSF infrastructure improvement project during which the front parking lot was more than doubled in size, a self-serve pay kiosk was installed, directional signage was improved and railing was added to the shoulder to prevent cars from blocking the roads entering the forest.
