Keystone Wild! Notes is the official publication of the Pennsylvania Wild Resource Conservation Program and is published twice a year.

The goal of Notes is to inform people about the activities of the Program, which is the principal agency that supports research and protection efforts for the state’s natural heritage—its unique collection of native nongame animals and wild plants.

Here’s a sampling of just some of the stories that appeared in Notes over the last several issues—
