About 1,078 acres of wetland and 104 acres of grassland habitat will be restored in northcentral Pennsylvania through a $3.5 million project led by Ducks Unlimited.
The project was among 32 approved for funding under the North American Wetlands Conservation Act by the Migratory Bird Conservation Commission.
In announcing the $1 million grant for the project, the U.S. Department of the Interior noted that the restoration sites will include tracts that provide important habitat to American black ducks.
Nature News: Chipping sparrow an unsung beauty
Susan Pike
We moved back to Maine a little over two years ago and one of the most fun things about the move for me has been starting a journal chronicling changes in nature as the year progresses.
So now I am looking back to 2020 and seeing that last spring large bees were all over my andromeda bush, and sure enough, they just showed up (about a week earlier than last year). The horse tails should be coming up in the swamp, and, once again, they are there a little early.
While my data is almost meaningless in that I’ve only been tracking things for one year, it does suggest that the signs of spring are happening a little bit early this year. Keeping a journal like this has also expanded my awareness of “signs of spring” beyond the usual frogs first calling from vernal pools, first spring wildflowers, etc. Now I’m seeing more subtle signs, like this past weekend when the chipping sparrows showed up at the feeder.
