The time has come…..

If ya’ll have been following along, you have probably seen that there have been a few programs going on at the park!

My name is Shaylee Walls and I am the new Environmental Education Specialist here at Yellow Creek State Park, which means I get to teach you all things wildlife, outdoor recreation, & more!

Here is a few fun facts about me:
🦆I absolutely love anything to do with water…kayaking, whitewater, & waterfowl.
🎣I grew up fishing with my Dad and Grandpa, so I’m the best there is! (

DEP declares a statewide Code Red 🔴 Air Quality Action Day for particulate matter (PM2.5) for Thursday, July 16, 2026.

Wildfire smoke from Canada and Minnesota will be entering Pennsylvania’s northernmost counties and pushing into southern counties Wednesday afternoon into Thursday, creating Code Red concentrations of PM2.5.

Residents and businesses within the Air Quality Alert areas are strongly encouraged to voluntarily help reduce fine particulate matter air pollution by:

- Avoiding the use of gas-powered lawn and garden equipment;
- Reducing or eliminating fireplace and wood stove use; and
- Avoiding the open burning of leaves, trash, and other materials

Residents are strongly encouraged to check www.airnow.gov for current conditions in their area.
