Pennsylvania club works on wetlands – Outdoor News
Johnsonburg, Pa. — The Rolfe Beagle Club, an active bird dog and sportsmen’s group here in Elk County, continued its wetlands improvements this spring by replacing old wood duck boxes at two wetlands on club property.
“We hope wood ducks will come back and use the boxes again now that we’ve replaced the old boxes with new ones,” said Jim Pennington, Jr., club president. “We got a new box at each one of our wetlands.”
