Central Pennsylvania 12th Annual Membership Fundraiser
The Central Pennsylvania Chapter of Pheasants Forever will hold its Twelfth Annual Membership Banquet on March 26, 2022. We will once again hold our event at the Mountain View Country Club in Boalsburg.
The Central
Pennsylvania Chapter of Pheasants Forever is a local conservation group founded
in March 2008 to restore wildlife habitat in Centre and surrounding counties.
We restore uplands, wetlands, streams, and stream buffers
with a focus on restoring
upland bird habitat. With our
conservation partners last year, we restored 150 acres of upland nesting cover,
including 19 acres of pollinator habitat, plus 25 acres of wetlands and over 5 miles
of stream habitat. In addition, we maintained an additional 45 acres of upland
bird habitat. In October 2021, we hosted
a Youth Pheasant Hunt where 18
youth hunters took their first chance
at harvesting a pheasant.
In 2022, we will maintain our
partnership with the Pennsylvania Game Commission, restoring habitat on State Game
Land #333 in Centre County and State Game Land #317 in Union County. We will continue to work with the Game
Commission to control invasive weeds, plant food plots and establish native
grasslands and pollinator habitat. In
addition, we will continue habitat restoration on private land throughout
Central Pennsylvania.
The committee wants to thank
the many members that supported our chapter last year. Despite the setbacks and rescheduling because
of COVID, we had a successful banquet and a successful year of habitat
restoration. The cooperation and support
of our members made this possible. We
will continue to monitor the COVID situation as the banquet approaches and
notify members and other attendees of any changes in the banquet as soon as
possible.
Prizes and auction items at
this year’s banquet will include guns, clothing, wildlife prints, outdoor gear,
and collectibles. Please order your tickets online. All banquet tickets must be paid in advance.
Payment at the door is not an option.

25, 2022 to Chip Brown at 239foxgap@gmail.com .
