The fish tank in the Tiadaghton Resource Management Center that traditionally held brook trout is being turned into a self-sustaining ecosystem that will mimic many of the local mountain streams that feed Pine Creek!

A small waterfall, rocks, substrate, and local plants will form the home for a red eft and adult red-spotted newts, an American toad, and a variety of small forest floor critters!

Want to see how a bioactive terrarium is built, or lend a hand yourself? Stop by the office anytime from 9am to 2pm October 11 & 12 to lend a hand or watch the terrarium be put together! Ask questions, learn how the terrarium is going to work, and discover the plants and critters that will call it home.

Contact Vinny Curtis at vicurtis@pa.gov with any questions.
