    Each time a hunter buys a hunting license, the

    money he spends goes toward many facets of

    wildlife management. Since 1920, close to a million

    and a half aces of State Game Lands have been

    acquired with these funds. Each year nearly

    $7,000,000 is spent to improve wildlife habitat.

    Habitat improvements enhance living conditions for

    non-game birds and mammals as well as those

    species which are hunted. Pennsylvania hunters

    willingly share these lands with the non-hunting

    public, and with few exceptions, State Game Lands

    are open for general use year round. Surveys

    indicate that hunting accounts for only thirty-five

    percent of game land usage. The remaining sixty-

    five percent is used by the general public for non-

    hunting purposes.

    “Working Together for Wildlife” is a Game

    Commission program providing everyone an

    opportunity to help support wildlife management in

    the areas for endangered and non-game animals.

    Monies derived from the “Working Together for

    Wildlife” Program are being used in Pennsylvania to

    re-introduce the osprey, river otter, bald eagle,

    peregrine falcon and provide habitat for other birds

    and mammals indigenous to the Commonwealth.

    Construction placement of blue bird houses on State

    Game Lands provides needed homes for this

    beautiful songbird. Islands in the Susquehanna River

    have been set aside as propagations areas for non-

    game shore birds. Numerous other projects are

    planned on State Game Lands and other public
