vigilance to safeguard
the commonwealth’s
wealth of woodlands.
Secretary Oliver’s
call coincided with
Gov. Mark Schweik
er’s proclamation des
ignating March 17-23
Wildfire Prevention
Week.
“Though forests are
a renewable resource,
they quickly can be en
dangered by acts of
carelessness,” Oliver
said. “People cause 98
percent of wildfires. A
mere spark by a care
less person can touch
off a devastating forest
blaze during dry peri
ods when conditions
are especially ripe for
wildfires to spread.”
Oliver noted that
wildfires during the
past - two summers
have scorched hun
dreds of thousands of
acres of woodlands in
at least six western
states. A record num
ber of Pennsylvanians
answered the call for
volunteers to help
fight those blazes.
Oliver cautioned
that the prolonged
drought and often
windy conditions may
increase the chance of
forest and brush fires
spreading, but their
cause still almost al
ways is traced to
human carelessness.

LINK Offers Deer Control Tool
HARRISBURG (Dauphin Co.)
Landowners and hunters are
teaming up through a Pennsylva
nia Game Commission program
to limit game animals and fur
bearers that cause crop or proper
ty damages.
Developed in 1999, the LINK
Program attempts to direct hunt
ers to the owners of properties
who need assistance, mainly with
deer damage.
Known as a “dating service”
for landowners and hunters,
LINK offers an option for land
owners looking for wildlife con
trol solutions and hunters looking
for land.
The cost-free program both rec-
ognizes the need for wildlife con
trol but also addresses the fact
that landowners may be uneasy
with inviting the general public
onto their property.
A landowner enrolls by filling
out a Landowner Information and
Property Profile Form and sub
mitting it to the game commis
sion. The form is posted on the
agency’s homepage (www.pgc.sta
te.pa.us) in the Hunter Informa
tion section.
Hunters can browse the land
owner information and property
profile online and write to land
owners if they are interested in
hunting on that property.
The hunter then applies to en
rolled landowners by sending
them a Hunter/Trapper Informa-

tion and Profile Form, which con
tains background information
about the inquiring hunter/
trapper. This application process
allows the landowner to decide
whether to invite the applicant to
the property.
Landowner enrollment is ongo
ing.
According to website informa
tion, “it’s far better to allow li
cense-buying hunters and trap
pers to harvest and make wise use
of game and furbearers in season
than to remove them as nuisance
wildlife, which often is not con
sumed or utilized.”
The LINK Program does not
require participating landowners
to commit to a long-term arrange
ment.
