The WHO behind the HOW
“I've been a longtime supporter of Wildlands’ land acquisition and preservation mission. They work in concert with the Pennsylvania Game Commission to acquire land in eastern Pa. Those lands are open to many forms of outdoor recreation that I enjoy, and as a Circle of Sustainers supporter of Wildlands, there are two things I try to keep in mind: 1. Every little bit helps, and 2. Little things add up! By making a small donation each month; it makes a BIG difference at the end of the year! It's nice to know that I am doing something to help preserve the open spaces of eastern Pa.”- Fran Gough, Circle of Sustainers 
Fran frequents Yellowstone National Park and is pictured here with an elk skull he spotted along a stream. He viewed and enjoyed his “catch” of the day, and left the remains in country just as he’d found them.

Virtual School Programs Are a Hit
Read what educators are saying about Wildlands' virtual school program offerings!
"Taking our students on a virtual field trip put on by the Wildlands Conservancy was a huge success! Our students were thrilled to meet and learn about several different animals. The presenter was extremely knowledgeable and made learning fun! I would definitely recommend checking out the programs they have to offer."- Matt Pero, teacher at Swiftwater Intermediate School
