*****Red Creek Wildlife Center
It’s getting Wild at the Sweet Arrow Lake Waterfall Pavilion on Saturday, June 7 at 2:00 pm
Red Creek gives over 4000 sick and injured wild animals a year a second chance through rehabilitation. There are only 27 wildlife rehabs in the state of Pennsylvania so we are fortunate to have their valuable services here in Schuylkill County. We have taken a number of injured animals found at Sweet Arrow to Red Creek over the years including one of our first Bald Eaglets that was injured when their nest fell. Their wildlife outreach program introduces some of their wild friends who share our planet and provides information about the animals and what they do at the Center. This program is FREE and open to the public and is sponsored by the Sweet Arrow Lake Conservation Association with the help of a grant from the Benevolent Association of Pottsville. Rain or Shine the Pavilion is fine. If it’s fair, bring a chair for seating on the lawn. The Waterfall Pavilion is at 48 Waterfall Rd., Pine Grove. For info call 570-345-8952 (leave a message)
