Sometimes, it’s hard to realize how much unnecessary stimuli you have around you constantly in the urban-dominated world we live in today. The path to healing may very well lie in the embrace of the great outdoors.
Located in the heart of central Pennsylvania, Shaver’s Creek has been connecting people to people and people to place since 1976. We provide educational and recreational opportunities for families, schools, corporate groups, and Penn State students. Come hike a trail, see live animals up close, learn about conservation, and enjoy our programs.
Shaver’s Creek is committed to extending Penn State’s Outreach mission of instruction, service, and research. Through quality programs, we teach, model, and provide the knowledge, values, skills, experiences, and dedication that enable individuals and communities to achieve and maintain harmony between human activities and the natural systems that support all living species.

And this year's Birding Cup goes to...
☠️ Raiders of the Lost Lark with a total of 136 species spotted! 🏆
It was a spectacular weekend for birding! 113 birders across the globe participated in this year's fundraiser, spotting 189 unique species (and counting, as checklists continue to roll in!) within 24 hours.
A congratulations is also in store for The Rebel Bird Club, Dark Side of the Loon, Whip-Poor-Wheels, and The MiffCo Mockingbirds who took home awards in each of our additional categories. Head to the link below to read more about this year's Birding Cup stats, winners, and fundraising efforts in a blog post recapping our successful weekend.
The birding may be finished, but our donation window remains open. This year's participants were fundraising to create access to outdoor education in our community.
