Pennsylvania’s Rolfe Beagle Club begins wetlands project – Outdoor News
Johnsonburg, Pa. — Members of the Rolfe Beagle Club are hoping that waterfowl, particularly mallards, will benefit from their latest habitat project, installation of a mallard nesting box on the club’s front wetland.
“We meet for coffee on Sunday mornings, and then spend two hours doing something to benefit wildlife at the club,” said Jim Pennington Jr., club president. “On a recent Sunday it was installation of a mallard nesting box.”

Tom Henry, the Pennsylvania Game Commission’s new game warden for western Elk County, stopped by to meet club members on that recent Sunday and he helped Bill Maiers, Ray Erich, JoAnn Schiafone, Mary Hosmer and Pennington install the new mallard nesting box.
A nice benefit of Henry’s visit was the delivery of Operation Game Thief orange hunting hats to the volunteers.
