Outdoors Sportsmen: Speak out on game lands violations Sunday, May 27, 2001 By Ben Moyer Pennsylvania's system of state game lands is a remarkable achievement in wildlife conservation, open space and public hunting opportunity. There are now about 1.4 million acres of game lands in 65 of the state's 67 counties; only Delaware and Philadelphia counties lack any game lands acreage. The Game Commission has amassed these tracts mostly through the use of hunting license revenues, but private land conservancies, such as the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, have helped the Commission acquire ecologically important or endangered parcels. Additionally, part of the $7.6 million annually apportioned to Pennsylvania through the federal Pittman-Robertson Act (tax on sporting arms and ammunition) is used by the Commission to buy and maintain these lands. State game lands have always suffered from a kind of identity crisis. Most have few facilities, except parking areas and sometimes a rifle range; signage is limited and mostly inconspicuous; and unlike places like Cornplanter State Forest or Oil Creek State Park, none of the parcels boasts a memorable or interesting name; all game lands are identified only by a simple unassuming numberState Game Lands 223, for example. Still, license-buying hunters have always been able to find game lands and enjoy their free access, relative solitude and wildlife.

Extractions: In 1976, WPC set out to protect the natural and recreational attributes of the Clarion corridor through a land acquisition program that would concentrate on the 42-mile stretch of river from Ridgway in Elk County to Piney Dam in Clarion County. Since WPC began that program 27 years ago, 11,688 of the 12,200 targeted acres have been acquired for conservation, in 43 separate transactions. Most of the river corridor tracts acquired by WPC have been transferred to public agencies and the protected corridor now includes lands managed by the United States Forest Service (Allegheny National Forest), the Pennsylvania Bureau of State Parks, Pennsylvania Bureau of Forestry, as well as the Pennsylvania Game Commission. WPC Volunteer Pat Kraeuter took the photo below which shows a section of the 1,732 wooded acres along the southern shore of the Clarion River. Go to the next article...

Extractions: Elverson Borough occupies one square mile along the northwestern boundary of Chester County. The Borough is bounded by only two municipalities; Caernarvon Township, Berks County to the north, and West Nantmeal Township, Chester County to the east, south and west. In 1911, the Borough, comprising only 149 acres, was incorporated from West Nantmeal Township. In 1953, land was annexed from West Nantmeal as well, extending the boundary of the Borough to the Berks County line and just beyond Brick Lane and Route 401. This brought the total land area to the current size of one square mile. Elverson developed around an historical crossroads. Today those early thoroughfares have been improved to highways. The most important highway in Elverson is Pennsylvania Route 23 which passes through the center of the Borough as Main Street, ultimately connecting the cities of Philadelphia and Lancaster. Pennsylvania Route 82, the second highway through Elverson, connects Birdsboro and the Reading area to the north to Coatesville, southern Chester County, and Wilmington, Delaware to the south. Pennsylvania Route 401, which originates at the western boundary of the Borough, proceeds in a southeasterly direction across the center of Chester County to U.S. Route 30 north of Malvern. The Pennsylvania Turnpike, though not physically within the Borough, provides access to the cities of Philadelphia, Harrisburg and Pittsburgh via the nearby Morgantown interchange. The city of Reading is approximately 18 miles north of the Borough, Allentown 40 miles northeast, Pottstown 14 miles northeast, Phoenixville 17 miles east, Philadelphia 40 miles southeast, West Chester 21 miles southeast, Coatesville 13 miles south, Honey Brook seven miles southwest, Lancaster 25 miles southwest, Harrisburg 60 miles west, and Morgantown three miles west.

The purpose of the state parks is to provide areas for public recreation and for public education in conservation and nature study. State parks have facilities such as paved roads, mowed or surfaced trails, restrooms, picnic areas, campgrounds, boat landings, fishing piers, and concessions for the many people who visit them. Most facilities are accessible to people with disabilities. Because education plays a key role in our state parks, a number of parks have nature centers and permanent or seasonal naturalists. Wisconsin State Parks, recreation areas, and trails total nearly 84,000 acres, offering a wide variety of watchable wildlife. A vehicle admission sticker is required in most areas.
