The Game Commission is again offering the "Seedlings for Habitat Program" that provides landowners with 50 or more acres of land open for hunting up to 500 free seedlings to improve habitat for wildlife.

Those cooperators with enrolled acreages exceeding 500 acres are eligible for one free seedling per acre enrolled up to a maximum of 10,000 seedlings annually.

New this spring, Pennsylvania landowners may purchase seedlings for wildlife food and cover, watershed protection, soil erosion control, and for reclamation of disturbed areas, such as surface mine site and utility right-of-ways.

For order forms and information on pick up and shipping options, visit the Seedlings for Habitat Program webpage.
