Stop 1- Tour start
Welcome to State Game Land 67 in Southern Huntingdon County. Please proceed forward for the start of this year's tour. If your vehicle is equipped with 4-wheel drive, please engage it now to help prevent tire spinning on the upcoming incline. Thank you for joining us, we hope you enjoy the tour! State Game Land 67 consists of approximately 5,770 acres in Todd and Carbon townships. The initial land acquisition for State Game Land 67 was made in 1931 from Edward M. Greene containing 976 acres. Subsequent purchases were made from the mid-1930s through the 1970s with the most recent acquisitions being made in 2007 through a Pennsylvania Game Commission land exchange with John and Linda Chomko for 21 acres.State Game Land 67 is located in the Greater Chesapeake Bay Watershed and the Appalachian Mountain Section of the Ridge and Valley province of Pennsylvania. This gameland is in the center of the soft-coal region of southcentral Pennsylvania. Evidence of the mining activities are evident during parts of this tour and both deep mining as well as surface or “strip” mining took place on this Game Land.For your benefit we have labeled various trees and shrubs along the route that provide food and cover for wildlife. Don’t forget to keep an eye out for wildlife along the way. Enjoy your drive through Penn’s woods as you partake of the sights, smells, and sounds of this beautiful gameland!
Fun Fact 1
As you continue your drive up this road to the start of the tour, we would like to offer you a few “fun facts” about the Pennsylvania Game Commission and the resources that your state’s wildlife agency manages and protects. For instance, did you know that for more than 100 years, the Pennsylvania Game Commission has managed the Commonwealth’s wildlife resources for all Pennsylvanians? In fact, the agency manages 480 species of wild birds and mammals in the state including game and non-game animals as well as those listed as threatened and endangered, protecting wildlife and their habitats while promoting hunting and trapping for current and future generations.
Fun Fact 2
Are you aware that the Pennsylvania Game Commission does not receive any state General Fund appropriations? It’s true!!! Your tax dollars do not support the agency as more than half of the Commission’s annual revenue comes from hunting and furtaking license sales. Other funds for the agency include State Game Lands timber sales, which you will learn about during this tour; mineral, and oil or gas revenues on State Game Lands; and a federal excise tax on sporting arms and ammunition. The Pennsylvania Game Commission is supported almost entirely by hunters and trappers, or through assets that have been procured with license dollars.
Fun Fact 3
Another fun fact for you…Pennsylvania has 329 state game lands, which span more than 1.6 million acres throughout the Commonwealth. The primary purpose of these lands is the management of habitat for wildlife and to provide opportunities for lawful hunting and trapping. Secondary recreational uses are permitted in accordance with Game Commission regulations. Please refer to our website at www.pa.gov/pgc for more information.
Fun Fact 4
You are almost at the start of the tour. In fact, just ahead you will see various employees of the Game Commission including State Game Wardens, Foresters, Habitat Management staff and biologists. Our outreach trailer is also set up with some great giveaway items. Please feel free to stop and interact with our staff and ask any questions you may have. We hope you enjoy your drive through State Game Land 67.
Stop 2- Invasive Species Control
The project area just ahead on the right is approximately 135 acres. The area is an old, reclaimed strip mine that was full of invasive species including honey-suckle, autumn-olive, and mile-a-minute. Management started in 2023 with mowing all vegetation up to 4” in diameter. All remaining trees were left standing. During June 2024, the project received an herbicide application to kill all unwanted species that had grown from the seedbank and stump sprouts. The next step is installing a deer-deterrent fence around approximately half of the project area, where desirable seedlings will be planted. Outside the fence natural shrubs and grasses will be planted. The area will be monitored for invasive species and spot herbicide treatments will be implemented as needed to control invasives.
Stop 3- Red-Tailed Hawk
Pennsylvania's most commonly known hawk, the red-tailed hawk can be viewed across the state in open country and woodlots. Often seen perched atop a telephone pole or tree limb, the red-tailed hawk is a formiable hunter. They have the ability to spot a mouse from 100 feet in the air. Named for the reddish colored upper tail feathers that they gain when they reach their second year of life, red tails are among the largest Buteo hawks in the country and are built to soar the skies with a wingspan over 4 feet.
Stop 4- Porcupine
To the left, this porcupine with its armor of sharp quills is likely safe. Porcupines are slow moving members of the rodent family, but with a defense mechanism like theirs, they don't have to outrun prey too often. Armed with up to 30,000 quills that can be 4 inches in length, the porcupine will first attempt to escape danger to the safety of a tree or den. When this fails, they tuck their head in close to their chest, turn their back to the predator and flail their muscular tail back and forth. Contrary to popular belief, porcupines CANNOT throw their quills. More than just a defense mechanism, their quills help give buoyancy to porcupines and allow them to be surprisingly skillful swimmers.
Stop 5- Eastern Screech Owl
The second smallest of Pennsylvania's owls, the Eastern screech owl can be viewed on your right. Common across the state, the screech owl is found in wooded habitats. They are dichromatic, meaning they occur in two different colors. In Pennsylvania you can view the screech owl in red or gray coloration. Like other owls, they have excellent vision and hearing. Did you know that owls have the ability to judge exactly where a sound is coming from?! If they hear a mouse rustling under a blanket of snow, the owl will move its head until the sound reaches both ears at the same time. At this point, the owl can pinpoint the EXACT location of the sound and is ready to pounce even without having seen its prey!
Stop 6- Fisher
Off to the left you will observe the fisher, Pennsylvania's second largest member of the weasel family. Fishers are shy and elusive animals that can be active day or night but tend to exhibit nocturnal and crepuscular tendencies. Their preferred habitat is mixed forests with heavy canopy cover as they avoid traveling in large open areas. Fishers breed from February to March and exhibit a reproductive strategy called delayed implantation. The adult female breeds within days of giving birth, but the fertilized eggs remain dormant in her uterus for the next 10-11 months. Females produce one litter per year consisting of 1-4 young, called kits. Maternal dens are typically located in a cavity high in a tree until the kits become mobile and are then moved to a den on or below ground. Fisher's primary foods include small rodents, rabbits, squirrels, birds, eggs and believe it or not, porcupines. In fact, they are extremely successful in killing porcupines without getting a face full of quills. Despite their name, fishers do not feed heavily upon fish.
Stop 7- Black Bear
Slow down as you may see a black bear ready to cross the roadway. Black bears are excellent climbers and swimmers and can reach speeds of 30 miles per hour. And though their vision is not great at distances, their eyesight is excellent up close. Their hearing is on par with other predators in the state, but it is their sense of smell that sets them apart from any other animal on earth. The bear's nasal cavity is over 9 inches in length and is FULL of scent receptors, allowing them to smell up to 18-20 miles away for some food sources!!! In fact, their sense of smell is 2,100 times greater than a human's. Peak breeding season for black bears in Pennsylvania is June and July. The female, known as a sow, fertilizes the egg at this time but does not implant that egg until 4 months later; just before denning season. The sow gives birth to cubs in the den in mid-January and averages 3 cubs per litter although 1-5 cubs are possible. Because a sow breeds with several males, known as boars, each cub may have a different sire. Cubs weighing in at only 6-12 ounces when they are born, are completely dependent upon the sow and remain in the den for the next 3-4 months. Although cubs can be independent at about 7 months of age, they will remain with the sow for a year and a half until she decides to run them off to begin a new breeding cycle. Pennsylvania has some of the largest black bears across the country with some boars topping the scales well over 800 pounds. However, the average size for a boar is between 300-400 pounds and sows average about 150-200 pounds. Although the bear you see to your right has black coloration, black bears in the state can also come in a cinnamon phase, a blonde phase or sometimes a rare white coloration.
Stop 8- Raven
The common raven, sometimes confused with an American crow, is often found in the deep woods and mountainous areas. Ravens, twice the size of and more intelligent than crows, often imitate various sounds such as the human voice. In fact, they are even better at mastering the human voice than parrots! They have also been known to mimic a variety of animal and bird calls as well as "manmade" sounds such as a toilet flushing or a car starting. From holding up objects of interest, to "pointing" at things with their beaks, ravens have been elevated to a level of communication that until recently, was observed solely in humans and apes. Ravens eat rodents, insects, fruit, bird eggs and refuse waste. They consume a large amount of carrion during the winter and can often be seen along the roadway feeding on a road killed deer or opossum.
Stop 9- Red Squirrel
The red squirrel you see on your left is one of four species of squirrels native to Pennsylvania. Red squirrels are sometimes called pine squirrels as they prefer to nest in conifers. Unlike other species of squirrels, red squirrels do not bury nuts singly, but prefer to store a large cache, often in a hollow log or tree. Red squirrels do not hibernate so they depend upon these stashes of food to survive winter. In fact, they are capable of locating their food supplies even under a foot of snow. Did you know that red squirrels possess double-jointed ankles, making them exceptional climbers and leapers, sometimes capable of jumping up to 6 feet?!
Stop 10- Eastern Wild Turkey
What is that over to the right?! Looks like an eastern wild turkey searching for some acorns to feed upon. Turkeys often scratch for food, kicking forest leaves and duff behind and can range several miles a day in search of food and water. Turkeys have keen eyesight and hearing detecting the slightest movements and sounds. Although they can fly at speeds up to 55 miles per hour, they often rely on their feet to escape danger. Did you know that the strides of a chased male turkey, referred to as a gobbler, have been measured at 4 feet and their top running speeds are almost 20 miles per hour! Female turkey, known as hens, nest on the ground and lay 8-15 eggs with 12 being an average clutch size. Young turkeys, or poults have a tough road with 53-76% perishing, most often within the first two weeks of life. Turkeys seem to thrive best with a mix of forested, actively farmed, and reverting-farmland habitats.
Stop 11- Barred Owl
Listen closely and the sounds of Pennsylvania's most vocal owl can be heard. The barred owl, coming up on your left, has a distinctive hooting call of 8-9 notes described as "Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you all?" Barred owls sport a brown/gray mottled plumage providing perfect camouflage tying into the bark of the trees they are often perched in. They have rounded heads, with brown eyes that are packed with extra rods and cones, giving them EXCELLENT night vision. In fact, their vision is 30-100 times better than humans. The outer edges of an owl's wing feathers have a stiff fringe, like the teeth of a comb. Their rear wing feathers have a soft, hairlike fringe. The combination allows their flight feathers to absorb noise, making owls almost silent as they fly through the air. In fact, their prey never hears them coming, until it's too late.
Stop 12- Pileated Woodpecker
LISTEN UP!!!Is that some kind of tropical bird? Nope, it's just Pennsylvania’s largest woodpecker, the pileated woodpecker sounding off on your left. Common residents during all seasons, pileated woodpeckers dwell in mature deciduous forests or mixed deciduous-coniferous forests. They excavate a new nest hole each year with the cavity being 10-24 inches deep. A pileated woodpecker’s powerful beak can break loose fist-sized chunks of wood. They will cut large rectangular holes in standing dead trees and fallen logs in search of insects that they feed heavily upon.
Stop 13- Burma Rd.
The gate coming up marks the end of a road improvement project on Burma Road completed by Morgan’s Excavating LLC in May of 2023. This tour continues ahead to the right onto Kenrock Road. A road improvement project on Kenrock Road was recently completed in 2025 by G&H Anderson Excavating LLC.These improvements help provide better hunter access to parking lots and administrative access across SGL 067. The habitat crew maintains 22 miles of roads on state game lands 67 including 5 miles open year-round, 5 miles seasonally open to the public, and 12 miles of administrative roads used by staff to access wildlife research areas and habitat improvement stands.
Stop 14- Northern Saw-whet owl
WHAT ON EARTH IS THAT SOUND?! Keep Alert or you may miss Pennsylvania’s smallest owl, the Northern saw-whet owl coming up on your left. At only 7-8 inches, this tiny owl with a catlike face gained its name from its mellow and repetitive call which they repeat often between 100-300 times. Early settlers felt the call sounded like the sound of a whetstone sharpening a saw. Saw-whets are abundant in coniferous and mixed forests with thick understory and often nest in natural cavities or abandoned woodpecker or flying squirrel holes.
Stop 15- Skunks and Great Horned Owl
Be careful ahead or you may startle a family of skunks. Female skunks give birth typically in April or May to 2-10 young. Though only an ounce at birth, skunks develop quickly and usually disperse from their family ties by August or September. Skunks are omnivores and have no trouble making a meal of our what is available whether that be insects, berries, grasses, eggs of turtles or ground nesting birds, or small rodents such as mice and moles. Did you know that skunks will often dig up ground nesting bees such as yellow jackets and feed on the bees and larva? Probably most famous for their potent defense mechanism, skunks can aim and shoot their very strong-smelling musk about 12 feet , though only rely on this as a last resort. Their musk has the ability to make some animals sick or temporarily blind them, allowing for the skunk to escape danger.Unfortunately for this young skunk, the great horned owl lacks a well-developed sense of smell and is immune to the commanding odor the skunk puts out. Great horned owls do have an incredible sense of hearing and can hear sounds 10 miles away! And though they only see in black and white, their eyesight is 35 times more sensitive than a human. They cannot move their eyes up and down or side to side like humans can, so they have evolved to rotate their heads approximately 270 degrees in either direction. Like other owls of PA, the great horned swallows its prey whole or in large chunks and regurgitates a pellet with all the undigested parts such as the fur, feathers and bones.
Stop 16- Prescribed Fire
To the left and right is an area that was burned utilizing controlled prescribed fire tactics. Fire is a natural habitat and forest management tool and one the Game Commission has increased the use of over the last several years. Over 200 employees participate on the agency burn crews. Prescribed burns usually happen in the spring and fall of each year to take advantage of optimal burn conditions. These fires are beneficial to the habitat for many different reasons including increasing soft mast production, rejuvenating browse plants, decreasing certain undesirable species and removing excessive forest debris. This area was burned on April 15th, 2016, and again on April 9th, 2024.
Stop 17- Gray Fox
Pennsylvania is home to two species of fox. The red fox, as the name indicates, has long, reddish-orange colored fur with black ears, legs and feet , and a long, bushy, white-tipped tail. Red foxes prefer farm fields with wooded tracts, marshes and streams. Red foxes are more tolerant of people and often inhabit heavily populated areas but due to their nocturnal nature, they are rarely seen. Gray foxes, which you can observe perched on a log off to your left, has a coarser grizzled gray coat with a black-tipped tail. Gray foxes prefer brushy areas, swampy lands and rugged mountainous terrain. The gray fox has semi-retractable claws and is the only member of the canine family that can climb trees. Fox give birth to litters of pups, ranging in numbers from 4-10 with 6 being most common. Fox pair for life, and both take an active role in raising their pups.
Stop 18- White-tailed deer
Arguably, Pennsylvania's most recognized wildlife species, this white-tailed deer can be seen grazing on some of the food provided by the reclaimed strip mine. Deer most often browses for food at dawn and dusk but are not strangers to daylight hours. Males, known as bucks, typically begin antler growth in late March or early April and continue antler growth until mid-August at which point they will begin to shed their protective velvet coating. Did you know that their antlers can grow a quarter inch a day, making them the quickest growing tissue in the world! Young deer, called fawns, are born late May to early June and are odorless to help protect them from predation. In fact, the female, known as a doe, will stay away from her fawns until feeding time so that she does not leave her scent in the area and attract threats to her young. She will even consume the fawn's fecal matter and urine so that no odor is left behind. Now that is one dedicated mother! Some other fun facts about whitetails; they have a phenomenal sense of smell, can sprint up to 30 miles per hour, and can leap as high as 10 feet and as far as 30 feet in a single bound making them the Olympians of the forest. Unfortunately, Chronic Wasting Disease, a prion disease prevalent in the region, has become a threat to the health and future of whitetails. If you see a deer that looks unhealthy, please report it immediately to our agency.
Stop 19- Reclaimed Strip Mine Fields
The fields on your left were once an active surface mine that have since been reclaimed to provide habitat for wildlife. The goldenrod, milkweed, as well as various other grasses and forbs, are important for species such as butterflies, insects, turkey, deer, songbirds, and predators.
Stop 20- Groundhog
What is that under that apple tree?!!! Why it's a groundhog! Groundhogs, sometimes called woodchucks, are herbivores and feed mostly on grasses, bark and buds of trees, and fruit. Groundhogs, known for digging extensive burrows, can move up to 700 pounds of soil to create their homes. But did you know that they are also agile climbers and can even hold their breath for up to 5 minutes when diving into water to escape danger!
Stop 21- Field Restoration
To the left this 50-acre project area is the start of reclaiming the field and adjacent forested stands by killing ailanthus, also known as the Tree-of-Heaven, within and around the southern half of the field. This area has a heavy infestation of Tree-of-Heaven, ranging in size from small saplings up to 18-inch diameter breast-height or DBH. The herbicide treatment occurred during late August into early September of 2024. Due to the number of Tree-of-Heaven seeds that are already in the soil, a follow-up treatment will be performed in a few years to stop the new seedlings from becoming an issue. Performing this project will not only improve the field complex but will prevent Tree-of-Heaven from expanding further into the adjacent stands.
Stop 22- Allegheny Woodrat
One of Pennsylvania's threatened species, and a proposed candidate for the federal endangered species list, the Allegheny woodrat prefers the remote, rocky habitats that these woodrat condos provide. These members of the rodent family have little in common with the more aggressive Norway rats that are often common around farms, cities, and residences. In fact, the woodrat is very shy and secretive and is a lover of wilderness, preferring to be far away from humans. Woodrats are sometimes called "pack rats" due to their nature to collect and pack away treasures that they come upon such as feathers, coins, spent rifle cartridges, leather straps and whatever else they may find. They have even been known to abandon food items they were carrying when encountering an intriguing object, only to wonder off with the new item, say a shiny car key for example. Some residents of the state may question why so much effort for such a small rodent but as the state's wildlife agency, the Pennsylvania Game Commission has the responsibility to protect and manage ALL wild bird and mammals of the Commonwealth and not just game species. Therefore, habitat work for the Allegheny woodrat is just as important as habitat work for white-tailed deer.
Stop 23- Woodrat Structures
The rock structures just off the road in this area as well as those you passed throughout the tour aren't just piles of rocks. In fact, they were constructed between June 2020 and April 2022 to specifically increase denning and dispersal habitat for the local populations of Allegheny woodrats. The rock was strategically placed to allow crevices between the rocks, which the woodrats prefer. Stone was donated by Michael’s Company working with Sunoco on the Mariner II East pipeline project as well as from PennDOT from the Hopewell bridge replacement project. The rocks were then placed, one at a time, in conjunction with US Fish and Wildlife Service and Pennsylvania Game Commission employees.
Stop 24- Mink and Limestone Piles
One of Pennsylvania's most efficient predators, the American mink, can be seen hunting for food from the stream bank. Though they are fierce fighters, killing prey with a hard bite to the back of the skull, they also are opportunistic feeders and will take advantage of easy prey over one they have to fight for. Mice, voles, and muskrats rank as some of the most important food sources for mink but they will also dine on fish, frogs, crayfish and snakes. Mink are most often active at night and early morning, but sometimes venture out during the day. They have excellent hearing and sight and can even hear the ultrasonic vocalizations emitted by rodent prey. Because they are at the top of the food chain in aquatic environments, mink are extremely sensitive to environmental pollutants and can be a good bioindicator of pollution.Speaking of pollution, as you proceed forward, you will notice a stream known as Miller Run. Due to the mining of the past, this stream was highly acidic. During high water events, the Huntingdon County Conservation district pushes limestone into the stream to raise the pH of water providing better stream quality for native aquatic species including trout.
Stop 25- Timber Cut
Coming up on your right, you will notice a shelterwood harvesting project that began in 2005. This is a management technique designed to obtain even-aged forests. The process harvests trees in a series of partial cuts, with trees removed uniformly over the area. Thinning trees in this manner lets filtered sunlight reach the understory allowing for desirable seedlings to grow while maintaining forest diversity. In 2017, a prescribed fire was implemented to ward off undesirable vegetation that had emerged in the understory. In 2022, another timber operation was conducted to remove overstory in the northern area and again thin more trees in the southern area. This past summer an herbicide project was performed in the area, targeting spirea and striped maple which was taking over and choking out the more desirable species such as sugar maple. Future plans include another shelterwood cut as well as monitoring and controlling invasive species.
Stop 26- Turkey Vulture and roadkill
Although not the most glamorous part of nature, a turkey vulture feeding on carrion, or a dead animal, does serve an essential role to our ecosystem. In fact, vultures, often mistakenly called buzzards, help to speed up the decomposition of dead animals, consequently helping to prevent certain diseases that may be harmful to other animals and humans. Vultures’ stomach acids are so strong that they can feed on animals that have died from things such as botulism, salmonella and even anthrax without causing the vulture to become ill. In fact, their stomach acids kill the bacteria and toxins! In Pennsylvania, there are two species of vultures that roam the skies; one being the turkey vulture that you see to your right, and the other, the black vulture. Did you know that turkey vultures have an extraordinary sense of smell and are able to smell carrion from over a mile away? In fact, they have the largest olfactory or smelling system of all birds!
Stop 27- Hurricane Ida Washout
On your left you will notice larger rocks, these were used to repair the stream bank and stabilize the road after Hurricane Ida in September of 2021. The Hurricane washed the seasonal road out completely during hunting season. After the storm, the habitat crew opened Burma Road to provide hunters access during the time they needed to repair this section. The road was repaired and quickly reopened by November of 2021.
Stop 28- Trout and Raccoon
As you approach this large box culvert, please take a minute to investigate the stream below known as Miller Run. If you are lucky, you may catch a glimpse of a native brook trout. Miller run was once too acidic from past mine drainage to be home to trout but with the hard work of the Shoup's Run Water Association and the Huntingdon County Conservation district, trout have been expanding their range in the treated water. The water pH has been raised from 3 to 7, bringing back the native species that once flourished in Miller Run. Wait, what is that along the stream bank?! It looks to be a little masked bandit trying to catch a brookie now. The raccoon is a nocturnal mammal, that will feed upon a variety of foods including plant vegetation, fruits, nuts, insects, and meats such as fish, frogs, crayfish, mice and eggs. With their dexterous paws and opposable thumbs, there isn't much that they can't get into, including opening doors. They also have the ability to rotate their hind feet backwards allowing them to climb down trees headfirst. And that black mask-like marking on their face isn't just for looks, it reduces glare and helps increase their night vision. Raccoons have very sensitive nerves on the fingers of their front paws. When foraging for food in water, they feel around with these paws to gather sensory information. This activity makes them look like they are washing their food before eating it, but contrary to popular belief, they are not cleaning their dinner they are simply gathering more information about what they are holding.
Stop 29- Bobcat
WHAT WAS THAT?! If you look closely, off on your left you can see Pennsylvania's only wild feline, the bobcat. Named for their short, bobbed tail, these wary predators have excellent senses of smell, hearing, and vision. Their large eyes which adjust well to dim light, allows them to have excellent night vision. In fact, they can see up to six times better than humans. Although they see only in shades of gray, they can detect even the slightest movements extremely well. Bobcats thrive in a variety of habitats including forested mountains, swamps, agricultural areas, and suburban woodlots. Their breeding takes place in February to early March with the average litter size of kittens being 3. The males leave the females after mating and play no role in rearing the young. Did you know that the spotting on each bobcat’s coat is similar to the human fingerprint in that no two are ever identical?
Stop 30- Dirt and Gravel
Several sections of this road were constructed with Dirt and Gravel Road funding. This program is administered through the Huntingdon County Conservation District as well as the Center for Dirt and Gravel Road Studies at Penn State. The section of road you are currently driving on was completed in the spring of 2018 and consisted of culvert installation, roadside underdrains, raising / grading the road profile to allow better water drainage and application of Driving Surface Aggregate.
Stop 31- Great Blue Heron
Be sure to scan the creek to your right, as there appears to be some wildlife activity ahead. In fact, it is a great blue heron looking to catch a bite to eat. These birds are opportunistic feeders and though their favorite foods include fish, water snakes, frogs, crayfish and insects, you may also see them occasionally walking a field or meadow in search of mice, voles, and other small rodents that they will feed upon. Despite their impressive size, these birds weigh only 5 pounds due in part to their hollow bones, a feature all birds share. Also like many other Pennsylvania birds, they are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and cannot be hunted or killed.
Stop 32- Acid Mine Drainage Ponds
The ponds to your left were constructed in 2003 as part of a cooperative effort involving the Shoup's Run Water Association, the Huntingdon County Conservation District, and the Pennsylvania Game Commission to deal with the acid mine drainage entering the local streams. These ponds help to increase the pH and remove the metals from the acid mine drainage. To ensure maximum effectiveness, the ponds must be periodically cleaned and replaced with new limestone. Since the system was installed, the pH has increase and the metals have decreased creating a healthy stream once again.
Stop 33- Coke Ovens
To the right you will see what remains of several Coke ovens dating back to 1882. These ovens were used to convert coal, mined in the local areas, into industrial coke, a clean burning fuel used to smelt iron ore for the steel industry in Pittsburgh.Photos courtesy of the Broad Top Area Coal Miners Museum (special thanks to Ron Morgan) in Robertsdale, PA.
Stop 34- Fox Squirrel Tour End
Although the mountainous habitat is not where you would typically see a fox squirrel, this guy really wanted to thank you for attending our State Game Lands Tour, so he made an appearance up here. We hope everyone learned some interesting facts and enjoyed your trip through State Game Lands 67 today. For additional information on Pennsylvania’s wildlife species or to learn more about hunting and trapping opportunities in the state, please go to www.pa.gov/pgcDon't forget to join us next year.
