Peter Kaye speaks with Craig Lukatch, President of the Lacawac Sanctuary Foundation, serving Northeastern Pennsylvania, providing environmental education, scientific research, and land conservation to students, families, and the broader community. Lukatch discusses the organization’s core programs focused on research, education, and preservation, including water-quality monitoring, school field trips, classroom programs, and protected public hiking lands. He also shares the mission to connect K–12 students with hands-on outdoor learning and long-term lake research. Lukatch highlights future growth through expanded camps, cabins, and a new eco-friendly education center. A standout detail is decades of lake data revealing rising water temperatures in a fully protected watershed. (lacawac.org)
