Muddy Paws Wetland Education Center

Muddy Paws Wetland Education Center The Cooke Tavern is situated on 40 acres. Wetlands restoration began in 2004 when the U.S. Come visit!

When the property was purchased in 1991, it was a mowed field that was once a wetland that was drained circa 1950, so that the land could be used for agriculture. Fish and Wildlife Service along with Ducks Unlimited worked collaboratively to restore the Wetlands habitat through the Partners for Wildlife program. In the fall of 2007, the center officially opened with the completion of a boardwalk.

The Muddy Paws Marsh is now a thriving wetland in the Upper Penns Creek Watershed near Spring Mills PA (about 20 miles from State College, PA). The wetland is continuously being cared for and restored to its natural state. Greg and Mary Kay Williams worked with several other conservation associations such as Clearwater Conservancy, Centre County Conservation District, Penns Valley Conservation Association, and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection to create, improve upon and continue to offer educational programs at the Muddy Paws Marsh Wetlands Education Center. The Muddy Paws Marsh is also an official site of the Centre County Master Gardener program offered through Penn State’s Cooperative Extension. Many school groups visit as well as several Penn State University classes.
