Conservation Corner

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.

Forty years ago, it was hard to find a black bear in the state of Pennsylvania. Fast forward to 2026, and you or someone you know has interacted with at least one black bear (if not more) in the last year. What's changed? Find out as we start a 2-part episode on the PA black bear (Ursus americanus).

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the woods... The Lone Star Tick is on the move. No, literally, they chase you! Find out where they are and what you can do to prevent them from finding you. And yes, we cover meat allergies and alpha-gal syndrome too.
