The Falling Springs, Letort, Yellow Breeches, and the Big Spring streams are just a few of the many famous trout streams in South Central PA that are within reach of Green Ridge Village in Newville, PA. When you add the numerous wild brook trout and stocked trout streams the area has to offer, you have miles of trout streams within close proximity of each other. Resident anglers of the Green Ridge Village community, like Bob and Joe, have the Big Spring stream literally right in their back yard.

Every spring we hold recognition events for Presbyterian Senior Living (PSL) volunteers and auxiliary members to express our appreciation for all that they do to make PSL communities a special place to live and work. Volunteers come to us from a variety of sources. They include residents from our independent living, personal care, or skilled nursing center – where the idea of neighbors helping neighbors is clearly expressed.
