Towanda wildlife context

Why Towanda Has the Dead-Animal Calls It Does

Towanda sits on the North Branch of the Susquehanna in the Endless Mountains, county seat of Bradford County and its roughly 60,000 residents. This is one of the most intensively drilled counties in Pennsylvania — Bradford sits at the heart of the Marcellus Shale's northern tier, and two decades of well pads, compressor stations, gathering lines, and widened access roads have cut extensive new edge habitat into what was continuous forest and farmland. That reshaped landscape is a genuine and county-specific driver of displacement calls. Mount Pisgah State Park and the surrounding state game lands cover the uplands, and the river valley holds the older borough housing. Deer-vehicle collisions concentrate on US-6, US-220, and PA-187.

Common species calls in greater Towanda: Most-called species across Bradford County: deer (forest and farmland edge plus US-6 and US-220, peak Oct-Dec rut), black bear (Endless Mountains uplands), raccoon (Towanda and Sayre's older housing; primary PA rabies vector), groundhog, skunk, opossum, and coyote. Displacement calls tied to shale-pad, pipeline, and access-road clearing are a recurring local pattern.

Pickup jurisdiction in Towanda: Bradford County does not operate a county health department — only seven Pennsylvania counties do. It is served by the Bradford County State Health Center under the Pennsylvania Department of Health. Borough and township public works handle right-of-way carcasses; PennDOT covers US-6, US-220, and PA-187. Private property, including leased well-pad and gathering-line acreage, is the owner's responsibility. Roadway deer and bear fall to the Pennsylvania Game Commission Northeast Region office (3917 Memorial Highway, Dallas — 570-675-1143).
