Raystown Lake has recently revised the project’s
Operational Management Plan for forest and wildlife management
for the 30,000 acres of lands and waters at Raystown Lake.
Over the past several years this program has involved many
non-profit organizations such as Ducks Unlimited, the National
Wild Turkey Federation, the Pennsylvania Trappers Association,
the Ruffed Grouse Society and several local watershed groups.
These groups have contributed funds or provided assistance
for numerous projects including wetland creation, forest pest
suppression, wildlife food plantings and trail improvements. These
efforts combined with ongoing volunteer programs such as a
full time Pennsylvania Conservation Corps Crew, an AmeriCorps
member and several benefits from Agricultural lease off-sets,
Raystown Lake has recently increased the availability of suitable
habitat such as food sources and cover for a variety of wildlife. The
following is some information on some of our important partners.
