Underfoot is a recurring series on the NPC blog, highlighting various botanical wonders. Authored by environmental educator and NPC member, Susan Sprout, the first issue was introduced in April 2020 in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day.

Both she and her husband, Richard, serve as cannoneers with Thompson’s Independent Battery C PA Light Artillery. Sue has served on the Northcentral Pennsylvania Conservancy board in the past.
