Shaver’s Creek Environmental Center

Welcome to Shaver’s Creek

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.

A little science, a little history, and a whole lot of creativity!

On October 24, Community Nature Journaling participants gathered at Penn State's Pasto Agricultural Museum to explore the intersection of science and history through the museum's collection of agricultural tools and artifacts.

With guidance from museum director Rita Graef, participants explored the simple machines behind everyday tools, including historic apple peelers. They had the chance to operate different peeler designs, practice drawing these three-dimensional objects in their nature journals, and, of course, enjoy a few apples along the way!
