Starting in late July, Shaver’s Creek Environmental Center’s conservation interpreters raised more than 50 monarch caterpillars, then tagged and released the butterflies as part of the 2025 Monarch Watch program.
Join us for a yearlong celebration as we honor 50 years of discovery at Shaver’s Creek Environmental Center!
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.

It turns out humans aren't the only ones who tap the trees each spring. Did you know that squirrels may have taught people how to harvest maple sap? 🐿️
In honor of the Maple Harvest Festival, Mary is here to tell us all about the eastern gray squirrel. Keep your eyes peeled this spring and you may just see some squirrels enjoying their own maple harvest. 🍁
We are looking forward to celebrating with you this weekend at the Maple Harvest Festival! Please remember that tickets are required to attend Shaver's Creek this weekend.
