The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources is now accepting applications for the 2026 Wild Resource Conservation Program (WRCP), which offers grants to support research and conservation projects that protect Pennsylvania’s native wildlife, plants and ecosystems.

The program will invest more than $500,000 in projects across the Commonwealth that support conserving non-game animals, native plants and fungi, and invertebrates such as insects — species that are often left out of traditional conservation programs but are vital to the Commonwealth’s ecosystems.

The deadline to apply is June 30. For additional information and a link to apply, click here: https://www.pa.gov/agencies/dcnr/conservation/wildlife-biodiversity/wild-resources-conservation-program.

A big thank you to the pastors from the Church Ambassador Network of PA for visiting today. I enjoyed discussing child care, foster care, and other family and child protection issues that are near and dear to me. Our meetings are always uplighting, encouraging, and end with a heartfelt prayer.

May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month. As you spend time outdoors, it is important to check yourself, loved ones and pets for ticks and be aware of the symptoms of Lyme disease and other tick-related ailments.

The first line of defense against Lyme is to take precautions outdoors by treating clothing and gear with products containing 0.5% permethrin, using insect repellent, and avoiding wooded and brushy areas with high grass or leaf litter. When you return indoors, check your clothing, gear and pets for ticks; shower as soon as possible after being outdoors; and check your body for ticks, particularly in areas such as under the arms, in and around the ears, back of the knees and other similar areas.

If bitten, an individual should monitor the area for the appearance of a bull’s eye rash, though the rash does not develop in all cases. Early symptoms of Lyme disease include fever, fatigue, headache and muscle aches. However, symptoms may progress to arthritic, neurologic and cardiac symptoms if not treated.

Lyme disease is caused by the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi and is transmitted by the bite of a blacklegged tick or deer tick. If you pull a tick from yourself, a loved one or your pet, you may have it tested to determine if it carries Lyme or other tick-borne diseases. More information about how to get a tick tested at the East Stroudsburg University Tick Lab is available here: https://www.ticklab.org/.

to Mick McKee and his crew at Without a Hook. My team and I met him in downtown Glen Rock earlier this month. They are a social ministry of family and friends who want to give back to the community they love by pouring out their time and talents to provide a free cookout-style lunch and pantry items to those in need living in the Glen Rock area. They are set up the first Saturday of every month in the parking lot at the Arthur Hufnagle Library. In June, they will be set up on the second Saturday because of the Glen Rock Arts and Brew Fest. If you are in the area, please stop by.
