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 properties which will also provide food and habitat for non‐game wildlife.
The future of Pennsylvania’s wildlife resources requires the concern, cooperation and financial support of everyone, hunters and non‐hunters alike. “Working Together for Wildlife” is the answer.
