On Aug. 2, Rep. Nesbit learned learn more about the Outdoor Corps program operated by the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) during an event at Jennings Environmental Education Center near Slippery Rock. The program offers work experience, job training and educational opportunities to young people who complete recreation and conservation projects on Pennsylvania’s public lands. In addition to hands-on job skills, the program provides learning opportunities weekly in resource management, environmental issues and topics, and recreation skills. The participants he met with are part of the six-week summer project serving the Pittsburgh area.

This summer in Center Township, two local residents and the assistant fire chief from Unionville Fire Company, who was working his day job nearby, saved the life of a woman who had been in a car accident. She was trapped in her overturned car which was submerged in a stream. While at the fire company's car show on Aug. 6, Rep. Nesbit personally thanked these heroes and presented them with a certificate from Tim Solobay, Pennsylvania's state fire commissioner.
