Shaver’s Creek Environmental Center has meant so much to me throughout my college career and the year coming out of it. Here is a very short list of what I’ve learned over the last 10 months.

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.

Birds can't fart, there's a tufted titmouse named Kevin, and life is going to be okay.
Throughout his time as an Environmental Education Intern at Shaver's Creek, Andy Hess learned a lot. He learned about plants and animals. He learned about teaching lessons and connecting with kids. Most importantly, he learned about himself and what it means to "enter the unknown of what being an adult means."
Andy reflected on his experience in a recent blog post, and the lessons he shares are ones we can all take to heart. Head to the link below to read "Birds Can’t Fart and Other Things I Learned as an Intern at Shaver’s Creek Environmental Center" by Andy Hess!
Congrats Andy and best of luck on your new chapter!
