D9: Trapping School Photos
The PTA & PGC
Don Powell, the Vice President West of the Pennsylvania Trappers Association, is pictured Meeting with Bryan Burhans the Pennsylvania Game Commission Executive Director. Having a working relationship with all of our officials is important! Powell said both the PGC and PTA are doing great jobs as stewards of our land and renewable resources. Pennsylvania is the land and water of opportunity for us! Our future will continue to be bright as long as we are willing to work and willing to work together! The Pennsylvania Federation of Sportsmen and Conservationists need us all to support them as they fight for us.
Skull Cleaning
Joey Della Penna and his father Chris have been helping Dan Lynch of the PGC with cleaning some of the many skulls the trappers of PA have been donating for youth education. Joey has a real interest in wildlife and recently asked if he could clean a variety of skulls and then use them in a display for a program at school. Joey does museum quality work and will probably one day be involved in wildlife as a career and part of it will be due to his extreme interest in wildlife. The PTA members should be proud to be a small part of his future.
