While the Queen Birds didn’t win any Birding Cup prizes, they appreciated the time spent celebrating beautiful places with beautiful people and birds, feeling grateful for the experience.
Join us on May 23 for walks, programs, ice cream, a campfire, and more.
Located in the heart of central Pennsylvania, Shaver’s Creek has been connecting people to people and people to nature 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.

Britta Petrich is a writer, educator, and creator. She is a lifelong letter writer following in the footsteps of women letter writers in her maternal line.
In eight different letters, Britta describes a moment in time at Shaver's Creek and the surrounding landscapes. In Britta's own words...
"Although each letter can be read as a standalone piece, when read in order... they tell a larger story. Just as individuals have stories to share, it is the collective story that portrays a deeper message."
This collection of letters is part of the Long-Term Ecological Reflections Project (LTERP), an initiative to record a century at Shaver's Creek through a creative assortment of artwork and writings. Explore all of Britta's letters and other LTERP entries at the link below.
