Stories from the Hollow — Kate Rarey

“I don’t live in Sewickley, but I have a number of friends that grew up here and have a lot of great memories at Fern Hollow. I’ve heard great things about their programs and outdoor classroom and gorgeous meadows! This is my first time here to volunteer but it’s definitely not my last. 

My first impression of the community is that it’s so vibrant! Everyone is collaborating to clean up right now! There’s so much nature around. You see everyone working together as a team towards a united goal.

I can’t wait to walk through the meadow and enjoy the space here.”
