WWM MUSEUM RECLAMATION PROJECT
We initiated the first stage of our new museum grounds reclamation and fish management program. I have recently met with Mr. Drew Bannas of the Loyalhanna Watershed Association and Mr. Jim Pillsbury, Hydraulic Engineer, from the Westmoreland Conservation District. The meetings confirmed the preliminary plans for the stream permits and to make sure we will have no problems with the Department Environmental Protection. During these meetings we reviewed and confirmed locations and processes for forth coming permits.
We are going to clean up the remainder of the old dump, put two water falls into the stream and build a deep cold lake for fish management. The following fish will be managed within this new environment:
Brown Trout
Rainbow Trout
WWM SCOUT MERIT BADGE PROGRAM
We are getting involved with the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts with the WWM Merit Badge Program. There are 15 different merit badges that can be acquired through the help from the museum and all it has to offer for the youth. Scouts can also learn and volunteer with the clean up and fish management projects that are now being undertaken by the museum
Attention Troop and Group Leaders!
Spring & Summer is approaching quickly.... WWM is now offering day and overnight programs such as: various outdoor field sports, first aid and merit badge programs. Make arrangements to custom fit your troop or group needs.

Recent Events:
First WWM Pistol Certification Course of the Season
In our first NRA Pistol course of the season the women students outnumbered the male students almost 2-1. You go girls! 7 people received their NRA certification for revolvers and semi-automatic pistols. Sign up for a WWM Education Course: Intro to Big Game Hunting, First Aid, CPR, Firearm Certification and more. All courses can be built and scheduled to suit your needs.
The museum really enjoyed a recent fieldtrip visit on April 15th, 2009. 
The fieldtrip was comprised of near 15 home schooled children ranging in age from a few months to 12 years of age. The children spent time in various activities to stimulate the learning process. The museum was incorporated into drawing activities, Q&A sessions, sensory identification exercises, a short nature walk and snacks.
Thanks to all that attended the Wilderness Wildlife Museum 3rd annual Big Game Feast & Gun Bash! It was great fun and a great success. We appreciate your support for the event and museum. 
We are also always looking for suggestions to make our annual event bigger and better. So please send your suggestions our way:
jack@wildernesswildlife.org
A special thanks to those that donated their time to help with the event. We would especially like to express our gratitude towards Rosalie Jioio's Little Italy for the wonderful catering that included many extremely tasty wild game dishes like the moose burgandy and king salmon in dill sauce!
 
Team Keslar goes to central Kansas for a turkey and white-tailed deer hunting trip. Dr. Bruce Matthews & Jack Keslar (pictured with his deer on right) both take big & beautiful 8 point white-tailed deer from their Kansas Hunt Adventure of December 2008.
2 day shooting outing with the Yamagiwa family. The family members were shooting novices that ranged in age from 16-94 years. First day consisted of full fire arm instruction and clays shooting. 2nd day consisted of full field shooting instruction and outfitting for a guided live bird hunt. Fun was had by all.
Team Keslar took 6 hunters to western Alaska for a combo hunt. The hunters were Monte Mcfadden, Dr. Dennis Marcelli, Armour Mellon, Don & Dave Francois and myself, Jack Keslar. Read about the last Alaskan Grizzly Hunt in Jack's Blog
Boy Scout Troop 133 visited the museum over Fort Ligonier Days. They participated in a program on conservation and stewardship to earn a badge.
Fun was had by all at the annual "Night at the Museum," S9-27-08. Proceeds benefited museum education. Guests enjoyed a big game & fish menu while viewing museum dvds and pictured journals of past hunts and activities.
Team Keslar participates in another successful King Salmon fish camp late June into July this year. Hodge's Outfitter's entertained over 25 clients for the season. Fishermen from 14 to 70 years of age experienced camping and fishing on the Nushagak River just north of Dillingham, AK.
Congratulations to Sophia Marcelli (age 3) on her first fish caught at the Wilderness Wildlife Museum in May.
