This past January, my wife, Vicky, and I attended a star party at Fort Macon State Park in coastal North Carolina. The park partners with Crystal Coast Stargazers, a local astronomy club, to offer these kind of events to the public.
Several club members brought their telescopes for visitors to look through and provided help on things to see.

In an effort to protect wildlife habitat, the Pennsylvania Game Commission plans to spray over 38,000 acres of state game lands this spring for gypsy moths.
Spraying is planned for 16 state game lands – 38,146 acres in all – and will begin as soon as leaf-out occurs and gypsy moth egg masses hatch, likely in late April and May. No spraying was to be scheduled the mornings of youth turkey season (April 26) or the opening day of spring gobbler (May 3).

The Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission is pushing for legislation that would allow it to transfer money between its Boat Fund and its Fish Fund – a move the agency says is essential to avoid another license fee increase in the next few years.
The commission is working with state Sen. Greg Rothman, R-Perry, chair of the Senate Game and Fisheries Committee, to draft a bill that would amend Pennsylvania’s Title 30, which requires that fish and boat fund revenues be kept separate.
