Sometimes the best habitat managers wear orange, and sometimes, they’re covered in fur.

Our biologists, foresters, and habitat crews work year-round to improve wildlife habitat on state game lands, but sometimes, nature’s own engineers can do the job even better.

Beavers are incredible habitat builders. By constructing dams, they create wetlands that provide food, shelter, and breeding grounds for countless wildlife species, not just themselves. But sometimes they need a little help, or some extra encouragement.

Later this year, the Game Commission is proposing to establish a beaver refuge along a portion of Canoe Creek on State Game Lands 166, off Beaver Dam Road in Blair County.

By establishing a refuge where beaver trapping and harvesting will be prohibited, this will allow the local beaver population to thrive and continue creating these valuable habitats, benefiting wildlife throughout the surrounding landscape.

Want to learn more about this new project? Join us for a public meeting where we’ll explain the proposed refuge, discuss the conservation benefits, answer questions, and gather public input.

Date: September 9
Time: 6 p.m.
Location: Terry Wentz Education Center, Canoe Creek State Park, 160 Marsh Road, Hollidaysburg

We hope to see you there!

Ever wonder what it’s like to partner with a bird of prey?

Join us at the Southcentral Region Office (8627 William Penn Hwy, Huntingdon, PA) on Saturday, August 29th at 12 noon for a fascinating program on falconry — the ancient art of hunting with trained raptors. This engaging event, presented by a licensed PA falconer, will feature live raptors, giving you a rare opportunity to see these incredible birds up close and in action.

Learn how falconry has been practiced for thousands of years, how these birds are trained, and what makes each species uniquely adapted for survival. From the speed and precision of falcons to the silent feathers of a barn owl, you’ll gain an appreciation of these skilled hunters of the sky.

This program is perfect for all ages as it offers an exciting blend of history, wildlife education, and live birds.

We hope to see you there!

Raven Ridge Wildlife Center is right; it really did take a village but what an amazing testament to those who were involved in this rescue and rehab.

Special thanks to State Game Warden Knash for assisting when the call came in! Because of his quick action and connection with Raven Ridge, this bobcat is now free to roam about the woods and fields again.
