Sussex County Land Trust hosts groundbreaking at Nanticoke Crossing Park

Sussex County Land Trust

BETHEL — The Sussex County Land Trust in late November hosted the groundbreaking and commencement of trailhead and waterfront improvements for Nanticoke Crossing Park, a 41-acre property located off Woodland Ferry Road overlooking the Nanticoke River adjacent to the historic Woodland Ferry terminal.

State of Delaware and Sussex County officials joined land trust board members at the event.

Once home to a manufactured home community, the SCLT and its partners acquired and repurposed the property for preservation and future public recreation.

The opportunity to protect the site was presented to the land trust in 2021 by the Chesapeake Conservancy, a non-profit with the mission of conserving and restoring Chesapeake landscapes and connecting people to the Chesapeake Bay watershed.

“This park is a prime example of a small parcel with a big impact for our planet,” said Chesapeake Conservancy President & CEO Joel Dunn stated. “While providing much-needed local recreational opportunities and public access to the Nanticoke River, permanent conservation of this wildlife habitat plays a much larger role.”

“To protect biodiversity, the world’s leading scientists have called for the protection of 30% of the Earth’s lands and waters by 2030. Conservation partners are striving toward the ambitious target of protecting half of the Delmarva peninsula by 2050. This can be accomplished one parcel at a time through local opportunities like Nanticoke Crossing Park,” Mr. Dunn said.

After identifying the property as an ideal property for preservation and recreation, the land trust secured several other key partners for the acquisition and future development of the property, including Sussex County Council through its Land Conservation Program, Mt. Cuba Center, U.S. Navy (Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration Program), Delaware Open Space Program, and Delaware Division of Fish and Wildlife.

Funding for the project was made possible by a $90,000…

Former Pulaski school in Glen Lyon leveled by inferno amid loft apartment project

GLEN LYON — An inferno engulfed the former Pulaski school on Market Street in Glen Lyon on a frigid Monday night, drawing a response from fire companies from throughout Luzerne County.

The former school, which closed in 1980, had been under construction for years as part of a developer’s plan to create 29 luxury loft apartments at the property.

Parts of the building collapsed during the intense fire and demolition crews were called in Tuesday to raze the remnants of the building as fire crews continued to spray water on smoldering debris.

When fire crews arrived on scene Monday night, they were met with an inferno shooting through the old school’s roof. The blaze forced the closure of Main Street in Glen Lyon for hours as crews battled the stubborn blaze. The intense fire forced the building’s roof to cave in and much of the right side to collapse.

Flames shooting out of the side of the old school melted the siding on the next-door house, but fire crews prevented fire from jumping to the neighboring house.

Fire departments from throughout the region and from as far as Berwick responded to the scene and the Luzerne County Tanker Task Force was activated to assist in battling the blaze.

Bitter cold complicates firefighting efforts in Newport Township

Firefighters from multiple departments battle a blaze at old Pulaski School in Glen Lyon, facing challenges from freezing temperatures, ice, and water flow issues.

LUZERNE COUNTY, Pa. — Smoke continues to pour out of the old Pulaski School in the Glen Lyon section of Newport Township. Crews from several departments across Luzerne County, including the Nanticoke City Fire Department, have come out to provide mutual aid. Fire crews have been working to contain the flames since 8:30 p.m. on Monday. 

“We have to band together in order to make these things work, just to share resources, volunteers,” said Andy Kopco.

Kopco is a firefighter with the Nanticoke City Fire Department. He says one of the biggest challenges has been the bitter cold and single-digit temperatures.

“There’s no way to prepare yourself for it, you just kind of do…” the four-year fire veteran said.

The cold weather brought water tankers Monday night to help battle the blaze.

“There was a problem with water flow. That’s part of the problem we have in the wintertime; you can have hydrants that freeze,” said Deputy Chief Tom Sadowski, Nanticoke City Fire Department.

Sadowski said portions of the trucks can also freeze, where just about everything gets coated in water and ice.

“Climbing up and down the ladder when it’s iced up, you know, that causes its own challenges. Trying not to fall in every direction you’re going. Hoses tend to freeze up,” recalled Kopco.

The ice was on the trucks and gear, as well as the firefighters. Many fought the major fire on South Market Street in Glen Lyon for over 10 hours.

“They don’t realize they’re sweating enough, with it being wintertime. Then, when they stop moving after all that sweating, the cold air comes in, and now you’re…
