Easement Audubon Hawk Watch Acres on Perry County’s Kittatinny Ridge In December 2016, CPC recorded a conservation easement with Perry County landowner Matthew Rice, permanently preserving 500 acres of forested ridge habitat on the Kittatinny or Blue Mountain. This property, part of a contiguous forest block of over 4,000 acres, is in close proximity to other protected lands including Tuscarora State Forest, the Reineman Wildlife Sanctuary, Waggoner’s Gap Hawk Watch, county- preserved farms, and other nearby CPC easement properties in Perry County. 1 inch = 1 miles Ben Mummert November 28, 2016 ¹ 0 1 2 Miles “We applaud the long-term vision and conservation commitment of landowners like Matthew Rice, who partnered with Central PA Conservancy to achieve the protection of special resources on this part of the Ridge in Perry County-its geology, scenic value, recreational assets, prime habitat for woodland species, and water resources,” says CPC Executive Director Anna Yelk. If not protected, these natural resources would be threatened by construction, fragmentation, and mismanagement. The property was valued in the highest category for protection, according to a GIS analysis completed by The Nature Conservancy and PA Audubon and funded by Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) for use by land trust partners of the Kittatinny Coalition (www.kittatinnyridge.org). The Kittatinny Ridge landscape is recognized internationally as an Important Bird Area (IBA) and within the state as an Important Mammal Area (IMA) for threatened bats and Allegheny woodrat. As a key funder and partner in this effort, Appalachian Audubon Society president Kathy Kuchwara claims, “This project is important as it adds to the protection of the forested Kittatinny Ridge for songbird nesting, raptor migration, and water quality for residents of Perry County. The partnership of a landowner, a local land trust, and a local chapter of the National Audubon Society to permanently protect ridge habitat for wildlife and future generations is something we can all be proud of.” Fox Hollow Rd The Windemaker Tract CPC and PA Game Commission (PGC) have partnered to acquire a key property on the Kittatinny Ridge, north of il arora Tra TY 0 Tusc ts Gap→ COUN 3 Sterret PERRY 2 2mi to # L Carlisle, adjoining state game land (SGL#230).

In creating the Commission, the Congress and state legislatures formally recognized the water resources of the Susquehanna River Basin as a regional asset vested with local, state, and national interests for which all the parties share responsibility. As the single federal-interstate water resources agency with basinwide authority, the Commission’s goal is to coordinate the planning, conservation, management, utilization, development and control of basin water resources among the public and private sectors. *Statutory Citations: Federal - Pub.

  • Pennsylvania Highlands Region Canoeing Stream Inventory
    Pennsylvania Highlands Region Canoeing Stream Inventory PRELIMINARY November 8, 2006 This document is a list of all streams in the Pennsylvania Highlands region, annotated to indicate canoeable streams and stream charac- teristics. Streams in bold type are paddleable. The others, while pos- sible paddleable, are not generally used for canoeing. Note that some of these streams become canoeable only after heavy rain or snow melt. Others have longer seasons. Some, like the Dela- ware, Schuylkill and Lehigh Rivers, are always paddeable, except when fl ooding or frozen. This inventory uses the standardized river rating system of American Whitewater. It is not intended as paddlers guide. Other sources of information, including information on river levels.
