Wildlife Damage Webinar Series UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - If you want to know what animal assaulted your apple tree or committed a felony on your tulips, you should learn crime-scene-investigation techniques, according to a wildlife expert in Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences. Gary San Julian, professor of wildlife resources, will present a free online seminar about those investigative techniques at noon and at 7 p.m. on February 7. That webinar will kick off a short, monthly series of webinars about wildlife damage presented by Penn State Cooperative Extension. "These webinars will help you learn how to recognize just who the culprit is and techniques for dissuading the attentions of some of the more persistent wildlife critters," said Allyson Muth, coordinator of the Pennsylvania Forest Stewardship Program, which is administered in the college's School of Forest Resources. "Each webinar will last approximately one hour." Participation in the web seminar does not require any special software. To view live and previously recorded webinars, all you need is a high-speed Internet connection and sound. To register and take part in the live webinars or to watch programs in the archives, visit the Pennsylvania Forests Web Seminar Center at http://rnrext.cas.psu.edu/PAForestWeb/. Live webinars in the wildlife damage series will be offered at noon and 7 p.m. on the first Monday of the month through May. Each session will be recorded and then linked at the Web Seminar Center website, along with a copy of the presentation and any handout materials. "So, if you are unable to participate in the live session, a recording of it will be available for you to view at your convenience," Muth said. To participate in the live webinars you must register and have a "Friend of Penn State" user ID. "The 'Register Now' page on the website will walk you through this process," said Muth. "If you're already registered with the Pennsylvania Forests Web Seminar Center, you don't need to do anything special to participate in this series. "This series of webinars on wildlife damage is in addition to our regularly scheduled Forest Stewardship series of webinars that is offered on the second Tuesday of every month," Muth added. Other webinars scheduled in the Wildlife Damage series include: March 7, Groundhogs - the Good, the Bad, and the Funny; April 4, The 'oles - Give me a V, give me an M; May 2, Squirrels and Chippies Acting Out. The Pennsylvania Forests Web Seminar Center is offered by Penn State Cooperative Extension's Renewable Natural Resources Extension group, in cooperation with the Pennsylvania Forest Stewardship Program. The Forest Stewardship Program also provides publications on a variety of topics related to woodland management. For a list of free publications, call toll-free (800) 234-9473, send an e-mail to RNRext@psu.edu, or write to Forest Stewardship Program, Forest Resources Extension, The Pennsylvania State University, 416 Forest Resources Building, University Park, PA 16802.

Pickett Announces Feb. Office Hours TOWANDA - Residents who may be unable to visit the full-time offices of Rep. Tina Pickett (R-Bradford/Sullivan/Susquehanna) during February may visit or call her satellite offices in Lawton, Susquehanna County, and Laporte, Sullivan County. “Maintaining satellite office hours in our more rural areas of the district are especially important this time of year,” Pickett said. “Because winter weather can be unpredictable and residents may be unable to travel to Towanda or Sayre, I want to make state government services as accessible as possible. That is why I encourage Susquehanna and Sullivan County residents to take advantage of these hours if they are in need of assistance.” Staff from Pickett’s office will be available at the Susquehanna County satellite office from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. on the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month: February 9 and 23. That office is located on Route 706 at Flynn’s Consignment Shop in Lawton. The site was formerly Cavallaro’s grocery store. In Sullivan County, staff will be on hand to help constituents from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. on the first and third Wednesdays of the month, February 2 and 19. The satellite office is held in the commissioner’s office in the courthouse in Laporte. Pickett’s staff can help provide applications for various state programs and services and can help facilitate referrals to state agencies. Applications for the Property Tax/Rent Rebate program are expected to be available sometime in mid-February. Pickett operates her main full-time offices at 321 Main St., Towanda, phone (570) 265-3124 and 106 West Packer Ave., Sayre, phone (570) 888-9011. More information is available 24 hours a day on Pickett’s website at RepPickett.com.
The Rain Forest Is Coming To Town How can a rain forest come to town? It’s truly something you will have to see to believe. On Friday, February 4, the Lathrop Street Elementary School in Montrose will be transformed into a tropical rain forest. Touring under the name “Live on Stage, The Rain Forest,” not only will you think you are right in the middle of the tropical rain forest with beautiful sounds and sights of the Amazon region, you will also see exotic birds, kinkajous, jungle cats, monkeys and snakes. It all started as a dream for founder and current director Mike Kohlrieser. In the 1980’s Mike and his wife Marcia became increasingly aware of problems in the tropical rain forests. Using his already developed skills as an animal trainer and stage entertainer, Mike wanted to educate young and old alike about these animals facing possible extinction. In 1992 the non-profit organization Understanding Wildlife, Inc. was created. The goal is simple - educate and inspire individuals to get involved and make this a better world for all of us (including animals) to live in. This fascinating comedy animal show will only be at the Lathrop Street Elementary School on Friday, February 4 for two shows at 5:00 and 7:00 p.m. Tickets will be available at the door.
