Old Crow Wetland Bank (Huntingdon County)
PennDOT purchased this 8.69-acre site (1.42 acres debited) in the
Juniata River watershed for $1 from the PA correctional facility.
PennDOT worked closely with the FWS and NRCS on the site design.
The site was constructed and is currently maintained by PennDOT
Division 9 county maintenance forces. Prison labor was used to construct
the shelter. Strong community involvement with the site has eliminated
concerns with vandalism and littering, and the site has become a
popular educational opportunity for high school students and youth
groups interested in wetlands ecology.
Mitigation Site Tied to I-79 Project
