Speakers
Kate Harper, a partner at Timoney Knox, gave a seminar at the annual WeConservePa.org conference on recent amendments to the Pennsylvania Recreational Use of Land and Water Act.
The law, known as the RULWA, provides certain immunities from lawsuits to those who allow their land to be used without charge for recreation.
Harper, a lawyer and former state legislator, explained that the law was amended in 2018 to add certain recreational structures, like boat ramps, paved trails and hunting blinds to the immunities.
