The End
of Habitat for Wildlife Inc.
Well it's been 12+ years since the
unofficial start of HFW and now, I'm saddened to say
it's time we move on. Or more to the point it's time I
move onto areas of the State where cleaning up illegal
dumpsites, aspen regeneration, planting food plots/trees
is welcomed and appreciated. I am now the Habitat
coordinator for Woodcock Limited of Pennsylvania.
"Woodcock Limited of Pennsylvania, founded in February
2007, is a state chapter of Woodcock Limited, a 501 (c)
(3) Non-Profit Organization. We are a Fraternity of
Hunters dedicated to the welfare of the American
woodcock. We work with local, state, and federal
organizations to promote habitat and woodcock research,
habitat management, and harvest management in
Pennsylvania. WL of PA also engages in educational
efforts to advance the public's knowledge of woodcock
and its management needs." (http://www.wlofpa.org)
While I will miss working on my local fields
and woodlots - the backward thinking and
anti-environmental actions and non-actions in eastern
Northumberland County has made it impossible to continue
work here.
All other HFW's officers have resigned as
well. We fervently thank the hundreds if not thousands
of volunteers, businesses and those whom have generously
donated their time, effort, money, and most of all -
friendship in helping to establish a cleaner and
healthier environment. We greatly appreciate your
participation.
Oh, I will still be poking around reporting
illegal dumping and other illegal acts to the
appropriate law enforcement agencies and hope you will
be doing the same.
If you see a tall grey-bearded man walking
behind a German Short-haired Pointer,stop and say hi.
