For Immediate Release

Coraopolis, PA – With the acquisition of some unique tree-harvesting machinery, the Ruffed Grouse Society has teamed up with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and others to make a new generation of these versatile machines available to public and private landowners who want to enhance cover for grouse, woodcock and other wildlife.

Inspired by the FWS Partners for Wildlife program and what it was doing with medium sized machines in Pennsylvania, the Ruffed Grouse Society (RGS) wanted (in 2004) to purchase one of their own, and thanks to a grant from the Richard King Mellon Foundation, was able to do so.
