As RWJ pointed out if people really want to help improve the game lands they can contact the local Land Manager. We have volunteers working on habitat projects all over the state but it has to be organized.
If it isn"™t organized you would have people doing all kinds of things that really aren"™t beneficial to wildlife and really nothing more then beneficial to themselves. You would also have guys cutting trees down to make a clear-cut wasting valuable timber. You would have guys cutting beneficial wildlife trees because they didn"™t know what they were and you would have guys making food plots where other hunters don"™t want food plots. In other words all you would have is chaos that result in few improvements and only more problems.
This is an organized work project on the game lands here in Elk County last spring where over thirty volunteers from all across the state showed up to do organized habitat improvement work.
A lot can be done and is being done to improve the future for both wildlife and hunters with volunteers working with the Game Commission toward a common improvement of the habitat.
Unfortunately all the efforts of the volunteers are negated, when it comes to deer, because the SGLs are being managed at much lower DDs than the MSY CC of the SGLs,so the DCNR can get the regeneration they want without fencing.

Once again your tunnel vision prevents you from seeing the benefits good habitat has on small game populations.
I haven't heard of grouse killing any fawns or even rabbits chewing on them.[]
Hey RSB, How Much Would This Cost a GUY?
