Falcon Cam
Jack Farster

Education is the first step to creating changes in our habits, and to instilling a sense of commitment to the environment. The PA DEP has made a serious commitment to environmental education and last year took a leap forward into the technology of today to reach millions by having them tune into their live internet video feed, "Falcon Cam." Last year, two Peregrine Falcons nested atop the Rachel Carson State Office Building in Harrisburg, and for the first time, four fledgling falcons took flight from the ledge where they roosted. This year, the Falcon Cam is back, and we hope a new nest of birds, to make their way into the wide world. Jack Farster, Environmental Educator at DEP has been working with the Falcon Cam, and visits the nest daily to check on their progress. Jack works with school groups who visit the center to help provide information to them, which will help them to form their own decisions about their place in the environment, and how they can help. He also explains that Falcons are cliff-dwellers by nature, and so it is only natural that they nest on ledges of buildings which provide habitat, abundant prey, and also helps to bridge the divide between the natural world and our world.
