Game Commission Region Boundary Change Impacts York County

HARRISBURG, Pa., June 1 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Pennsylvania Game Commission Executive Director Carl G. Roe today announced that York County residents who need to contact one of the agency's three full-time Wildlife Conservation Officers should direct their inquiries to the Southcentral Region Office, headquartered in Huntingdon, Huntingdon County.  

Calls for WCO services would include those seeking to report a hunting or trapping violations or violations against wildlife, requesting a speaker for a wildlife education program, or those interested in serving as a volunteer Deputy WCO or instructor for the agency's Hunter-Trapper Education programs.

Roe noted that, in the past, York County residents had been directed to contact the agency's Southeast Region Office in Reading, Berks County.

"This transfer of responsibility for servicing York County was made following an internal review to improve efficiency and workload distribution," Roe said. "The transition should not directly impact the public, as the current three Wildlife Conservation Officers will remain in their York County districts and continue to provide the exemplary service they always have."

Roe also noted that all other inquires relating to the Game Commission's other programs, such as land management or State Game Lands, habitat management on private lands or wildlife management, should continue to be directed to the agency's Southeast Region Office in Reading, Berks County.
