SIGN MISAPPROPRIATED

 


BIG WOODS HARE HUNTERS OF THE ALLEGHENY


SIGN


MISAPPROPRIATED


In late 2019 several hard working members of the Big Woods Hare Hunters of the Allegheny started a habitat reclamation project on land owned by Seneca Resources Company


The project was conducted in cooperation and with the assistance of Seneca Resources Company and their Forester.

The project's stated primary mission was to "improve nesting and escape cover" for all small mammals including eastern cottontail rabbits.


A professionally produced metal sign was placed on a permanent 4"X4" treated post with the consent and authorization of the land owner. The object of the sign was to inform passersby of what was happening at the site, who was doing the work and that it was being accomplished with the permission and cooperation of the land owner. Another lesser objective was to show that Seneca Resources Company was interested in conservation.

The sign made it through 2 winters, however, now our sign has  mysteriously disappeared.

The missing sign would have no value to anyone except to the members of the Big Woods Hare Hunters of the Allegheny.

The metal sign was not cheaply made.

The Big Woods Hare Hunters of the Allegheny are offering a reward for the safe return of the sign. The High HareMan will match the reward.
The Big Woods Hare Hunters of the Allegheny are offering a reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the perpetrator or perpetrators. No formal report has been made to the Pennsylvania State Police at this time but it will happen. -HH
Anyone having information may private message us @ https://www.facebook.com/BigWoodsHareHunters/
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
This is how our sign looked.

This is what the sign said.

This is what the empty sign post looks like at the present. (2022)
