Coraopolis, PA – The Ruffed Grouse Society (RGS) gets plenty of attention for advocating cutting big trees to make small ones, but few realize that RGS volunteers and its partners annually plant thousands of trees.

This spring and fall, as part of the Woodcock Habitat Initiative on State Lands (PA WHISL), RGS will partner with Mackin Engineering Company of Pittsburgh, PA and the PA Game Commission to plant 30,000 aspen, alder, hawthorn and dogwood seedlings, transforming an open, agricultural field into a woodcock wonderland on State Game Lands 39 in Venango County, PA.

July 30, 2007

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.
