Explore Winter Wetlands at PPL’s Brunner Island Environmental Preserve
HOLTWOOD -- Many birds spend their winters in wetlands while amphibians become dormant under the water. Embark on a winter walk and enjoy the many sights and sounds of wetlands at 10 a.m. Saturday, February 9, at PPL’s Brunner Island Environmental Preserve.

Jim Smith, PPL naturalist, will lead this informative walk around the wetlands while discussing wildlife that inhabit the area, including wood ducks, frogs, turtles and many more. Please dress for the weather.

The program, which is free and open to the public, will begin at the Brunner Island wetland pavilion located off Wago Road, across from Gate A. In the case of inclement weather, the walk will be canceled. For directions, visit www.pplweb.com/brunner+island. For more information, contact Karen Ament at 717-284-4651 or kament@pplweb.com.

PPL’s Brunner Island power plant, located on the west bank of the Susquehanna River about 15 miles downstream from Harrisburg, Pa., generated more than 9 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity in 2006. That’s enough to power about 900,000 households.

PPL is hosting the program as part of PPL Project Earth, an initiative to educate people about energy resources and the environment. For more information and directions to the PPL Environmental Preserves, visit www.pplpreserves.com or e-mail pplpreserves@pplweb.com.
