On Saturday, June 9, the
Pennsylvania Game Commission will conduct a tour on State Game Lands 257, located in West Penn Township, Schuylkill County. This is a hands-on opportunity to learn about PA’s forest habitat management program. As you may know, timber management is the primary tool used to create early-successional, or renewed, forested habitat, which provides the kind of habitat needed by many wildlife species, including deer, bear, turkey, grouse and interior ground-nesting songbirds. See it for yourself. A
map of SGL 257 is available on the PGC website.
