Raccoon, muskrat, opossum, deer, and other mammals and reptiles also call Silver Lake home. As part of the small section of Pennsylvania known geographically as the Coastal Plain , the rocks, vegetation and wildlife of Silver Lake are unique, and among them are several animals on Pennsylvania's Endangered Species List. The Nature Center Building features an exhibit area, classroom, and gift shop. Public Programs at the Center encompass a wide range of activities, including Family Walks, Guest Speakers, Field Trips, Craft Classes, Children's Clubs, Ecology Programs, Guided Nature Walks, and Adult Workshops and Courses. Performances and presentations such as Puppet Shows can be enjoyed.
Members get a great newsletter highlighting upcoming events.
Family Field Trips can include everything from local one-day affairs to extensive trips such as whale watching aboard a schooner off the shores of Maine. Call for a calendar, or better yet become a member. You'll be warmly welcomed in the newsletter. Call the Center with your needs. Scout Groups can sleep over here, earn badges, and so forth.
