Exhibit Synopses

Audubon Pennsylvania
With nearly 4 million people spending almost $1 billion annually to participate in wildlife watching in Pennsylvania, birds and wildlife have become big business for the Commonwealth. Audubon's 81 Important Bird Areas and the 218 Susquehanna River Birding and Wildlife Trail sites offer communities throughout Pennsylvania an economic incentive to help protect the state's biodiversity.

DCNR / Wild Resource Conservation Program
Pennsylvania Wilds covers 12 counties in northcentral Pennsylvania, and includes more than two million acres of public lands. The Commonwealth is developing a strategy to encourage the growth of tourism and related businesses in this area based on these significant outdoor experiences. The Wild Resource Conservation Program directs resources toward native species - both plants and animals - and educates both children and adults on how to help recognize and preserve some of Pennsylvania’s most sensitive flora and fauna.

Ernst Conservation Seeds
Ernst Conservation Seeds commercially grows Pennsylvania native species for wetland restoration, riparian buffers, and meadows. Our seeds are mainly used in wetland mitigation, roadside stabilization, and mine and landfill coverings.

French Creek Project
Few streams in Pennsylvania are more attractive and more biologically diverse than French Creek. This nationally renowned waterway begins in Chautauqua County, western New York, and flows for 117 miles through northwestern Pennsylvania. Recreation is an important river value of French Creek. Boating, fishing, hunting, hiking, viewing wildlife, camping, and relaxing are just a few of the many outdoor activities enjoyed along the waterway. The value of the river can be seen in the wildlife and aquatic life, income, recreation, transportation, and aesthetics it provides to the area through which it flows.

Hardwoods Development Council and
Pennsylvania Forest Products Association

Pennsylvania forests contains more hardwood volume than any state in the U.S. and the state ranks first in the production of hardwood lumber. The state’s forest products industry is a $5.5 billion industry. Over 2,600 companies employ in excess of 90,000 Pennsylvanians, accounting for more than ten percent of the state’s manufacturing workforce.

Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission
"Keep Pennsylvania Fishing & Boating"

The fees paid by anglers and boaters provide the funds that stock fish in Pennsylvania waters, put waterways conservation officers on patrol, maintain boat ramps, provide education programs, and much more. Fishing and boating are keys to the quality of life of Pennsylvanians, and they have major positive economic impacts of more than $2 billion per year. More than 40 million days are spent fishing and boating in Pennsylvania each year. More than $53 million goes into the state's general fund each year from sales and income taxes from fishing and boating activities. This funding and more is necessary to "Keep Pennsylvania Fishing & Boating."

Westsylvania Heritage Corporation
