Bringing Back the Barn Owl

Length: 4 minutes

The Moraine Preservation Fund is reintroducing the barn owl, a native species whose population has dwindled so much that only one breeding pair has been verified in southwestern Pennsylvania in the past ten years. The barn owl is favored by farmers for killing rodents in their barns. Reintroducing native species whose populations have dwindled is important because all life forms are interconnected, in what Rachel Carson called "the web of life."

Produced by the Environmental Fund for Pennsylvania as part of the GreenWorks for Pennsylvania Television show entitled Southwestern Pennsylvania Special.
