PPL hosts eagle-viewing tour

Hydro provides environment for birds HAWLEY - Learn about the incredible comeback of the bald eagle in the Lake Wallenpaupack area and the role PPL’s hydroelectric dam played in the bird’s return at a program sponsored by the Wallenpaupack Environmental Learning Center on Saturday, Jan. 20. The Eagle Institute will lead the program, including an eagle discussion, their habitat and proper eagle-viewing etiquette. The program will begin at the center at 9 a.m. followed by a guided eagle-viewing tour of the Lackawaxen River that leaves from the center. Dress for the weather and bring binoculars. The fee for the tour is a $10 donation to the institute, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the protection of bald eagles and other birds of prey and habitat conservation through education, research and public involvement. Space is limited, and registration is required. For more information, registration and directions, contact PPL at 570-251-6196 or pplpreserves@pplweb.com.
