PA Wilds - Making a Difference in rural PA

Here's highlights of what people from around the region and country have been saying about the Pennsylvania Wilds Initiative.

The PA Wilds has provided a common focus that has brought a wide range of federal, state and local agencies together to work on mutual issues we all face. … It has fostered pride in our local communities among the residents, not just visitors.

Eric Patton, Millstone Township Supervisor, Elk County

The PA Wilds has really strengthened the bonds between the communities up here. … We knew we had to put aside our parochial interests about our individual communities and try to do something as a group.

Joe DeMott, McKean County Commissioner

“No initiative exists in the country on this scale and level of strategic thinking.”

Society of American Travel Writers, who gave the Pennsylvania Wilds a prestigious Phoenix Award in 2007.
