State Game Land 182, which totals 273 acres, is located in Greenwich and Richmond Townships, Berks County. It is in the PA Game Commission's Southeast Region and located entirely in WMU 5C. SGL 182 is approximately three miles northwest of the borough of Kutztown along the Saucony Creek.
Topography varies from rolling hills to narrow creek bottoms. The highest elevation of about 600 feet is found on the hill in the center of the Game Lands. The lowest elevation (360 feet) is found along Sacony Creek. Game Land 182 is 68% forested with the remaining area in scrub shrub and agricultural fields. It is a fairly hilly area with sloping fields and steep wooded ridges. Approximately 35 acres are in a special propagation area in which the PGC maintains a private LE training range.
Schofers Cave is located on the property. At one time it may have been an active bat hibernaculum, however due to heavy spelunking, bats no longer hibernated there. The cave was gated in 1994 to prevent disturbance in hope that Schofer's Cave once again becoming an important bat hibernating area. No further management is planned at this time.
State Game Land 182 has good access. Sacony Road runs through the length of the property. Dutchmill Road provides access to the northwest corner, and Knittle Road to the southeast corner. Two parking areas are available. One is located in the the northwest corner of the property along Dutchmill Road. The other is along Sacony Road at the eastern edge of the Game Lands. Numerous pull-offs are spread out along the roads. Most of the field complexes have gated administrative roads, allowing foot access to the interior of the Game Lands.
This game land is in WMU 5C. Species hunted are mostly limited to white-tailed deer, turkey, and gray squirrel in the wooded areas. Stocked Pheasants are also hunted. The game land is also used by hikers, bird watchers, and dog walkers.

SPORTSMEN'S RECREATION MAP
Each time a hunter buys a hunting license, the
money he spends goes toward many facets of
wildlife management. Since 1920, close to a million
and a half aces of State Game Lands have been
acquired with these funds. Each year nearly
$7,000,000 is spent to improve wildlife habitat.
Habitat improvements enhance living conditions for
non-game birds and mammals as well as those
species which are hunted. Pennsylvania hunters
willingly share these lands with the non-hunting
public, and with few exceptions, State Game Lands
are open for general use year round. Surveys
indicate that hunting accounts for only thirty-five
percent of game land usage. The remaining sixty-
five percent is used by the general public for non-
hunting purposes.
“Working Together for Wildlife” is a Game
Commission program providing everyone an
opportunity to help support wildlife management in
the areas for endangered and non-game animals.
Monies derived from the “Working Together for
Wildlife” Program are being used in Pennsylvania to
re-introduce the osprey, river otter, bald eagle,
peregrine falcon and provide habitat for other birds
and mammals indigenous to the Commonwealth.
Construction placement of blue bird houses on State
Game Lands provides needed homes for this
beautiful songbird. Islands in the Susquehanna River
have been set aside as propagations areas for non-
game shore birds. Numerous other projects are
planned on State Game Lands and other public
