Conservation Corner

Brace yourself! Two insects are on the move. Both are Tier 1 Invasive Insects of Greatest Concern. Learn more about the Asian Long-Horned Beetle (ALB) and the Winter Moth, and find out what you can do to prevent them from destroying forests across the Keystone State.

We're back! And today we're talking eco-news! Join us as we discuss PA's levels of invasive pests and what the state is doing to prevent their destruction. What else do we have up our sleeve? How about treated lumber that won't poison your food or family? Join us as we cover all this and a few fun facts to boot!

The short, cold days of winter are over, and spring is officially here. Join us as we discuss how a few flowers have found a way to take advantage of the bright sunlight on the forest floor before leaves come out on trees.

American Eels are a big deal. They hang out in saltwater. Swim into freshwater. Slink over land. Eat invasives. But need clean water no matter where they swim. Populations are down, but not for long! Join us as we chat with SCCD Watershed Specialist, Jill Pagnotti, and find out more about this incredible species. Find out how a few eels became our temporary pets at the office. And how you can celebrate the release of six juvenile eels here in Susquehanna County's Starrucca Creek.

They don't throw stuff (besides dirt). They don't really like wood. So, what's up with that chubby critter called the Woodchuck? Join us as we discover the secret world of the whistle pig. And perhaps we'll learn exactly what they spend their days doing if they're not throwing sticks in a pile.
