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.
