CLARION, Pennsylvania: Pennsylvania has one of the largest state park systems in the country. With 125 parks across 64 counties, the system includes geologic wonders, prominent moments in American history, old growth forests, tidal waterways, and Great Lakes access.

This diversity is also represented in the flora and fauna that call our Pennsylvania State Parks home.

On September 9 at 6:00 PM, we will join Chris Kemmerer, Education and Interpretation Section Chief for Pennsylvania State Parks. From the meeting room at the Clarion Free Library, 644 Main Street, Clarion, we’ll connect with Chris via Zoom as he takes us on a tour of the best birding spots in PA’s state park system. He’ll highlight parks close to home near Clarion, parks worthy of a day trip and parks further afield that may require an overnight visit or two. You’ll get a sense for the habitats of each park as well as the best birds to look for.

Chris has been with Pennsylvania State Parks for over 20 years. As an avid birder and conservationist Chris works to bring his love of the outdoors to Pennsylvania residents and visitors. As the Education and Interpretation Section Chief, he oversees the educational program for state parks; providing direction, support, and training to field staû who annually educate 300,000 people.
