Erie National Wildlife Refuge Updates Visitor Contact Station Exhibits
Northeast Region, August 17, 2006
Print Friendly Version

This past summer the exhibits in the visitor contact station at Erie National Wildlife Refuge in Pennsylvania were completely revamped.   Through the efforts of Eco-intern Cassandra Hamilton, and STEP (Student Temporary Experience Program) clerk Ryan Maloney, the new exhibits provide an interactive, informative, and fun experience for refuge visitors.   New interactive activities include: matching wildlife & their habitat requirements to one of the refuges in the National Wildlife Refuge System; matching wildlife & their life histories with particular habitat types at Erie Refuge; matching bird sounds with the correct animal; making animal tracks; matching photos of wildlife & wildlife signs; and answering questions about forest and wetland habitats from a mural.  A new display includes poster size maps of the two refuge divisions with enlarged photos of highlighted public use areas and special habitats.   A resource library for teachers and youth group leaders has also been added to complete the new facility.
