PA Wilds Center is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization whose mission is to integrate conservation and economic development in a way that inspires the communities of the Pennsylvania Wilds.
The Pennsylvania Wilds is a 13-county region that includes the counties of Clinton, Cameron, Clarion, Clearfield, Elk, Forest, Jefferson, Lycoming, McKean, Potter, Tioga, Warren, and northern Centre.
The PA Wilds Center promotes the region and its 2+ million acres of public lands as a premier outdoor recreation destination as a way to diversify local economies, inspire stewardship, attract investment, retain population and improve quality of life. The PA Wilds Center’s core programs seek to help businesses leverage the PA Wilds brand and connect with new market opportunities, including: the PA Wilds Cooperative (WCO), a network of more than 700 place-based businesses and organizations, and the PA Wilds Conservation Shop, a retail outlet primarily featuring products sourced from the WCO. Businesses and organizations in the PA Wilds can join the WCO for free and take advantage of branding and marketing opportunities, branded commerce and product lines, as well as peer networking, professional development and referral networks.
