Notes from Middle Creek: Improvements to ‘Big Island’ and controlled burns ahead
A recently started project to restore the habitat of Canada geese in Middle Creek is expected to increase nesting opportunities for the species and other wildlife species that nest on the “Big Island” in the middle of the nature preserve’s main lake.
Middle Creek migrations are expected sooner, but fewer snow geese are likely
Warmer winters are causing snow geese to migrate earlier, according to the PA Game Commission, so Middle Creek will reopen for the season a little sooner than usual. However, the number of winged visitors to the local lake are expected to continue to decline.
