Join the SCCD as we welcome Mike Kuzma to the District! Mike has recently filled the role of agricultural conservation technician (ACT) and is excited to get some training under his belt and assist the ag producers of Susquehanna County with best management practices and funding opportunities. Get to know Mike as we discuss his background, interests, and what he's most excited about as he starts this new chapter at SCCD.

Join us as we jump into a time machine and travel back to 1776 to observe what species are present or missing from Pennsylvania's landscape. P.S. It didn't take us long to notice a giant difference. Join us to find out what changed!

Here in the northeast, any time outside will lead you to spot the first tree changing color or to hear fewer bird songs in the woods. This inevitably leads us toward shorter days and cooler nights. But before we get there, nature celebrates with a ton of color along our roadside corridors. Join us as we discuss a few of these flowers and some natural history behind each.

We're halfway through a 2-part series on the PA black bear (Ursus americanus). Join us as we discuss past and current studies that are helping improve the species' health and spur population growth.
