Ordinary citizens like you. People who understand the value of conservation. Citizens who believe that our future planet is affected by what they do today.

Do you take conservation personally? If so, tell us how. Become a PA iCon and let other Pennsylvanians know about the many ways to get involved with and learn about our natural resources.

It’s easy to become a PA iCon. Simply fill out the form below and attach a picture of yourself (if so desired), and you’ll appear on our gallery of iCons. Then tell your friends and family about your profile and encourage them to log on and submit theirs.

By being a PA iCon, you’ll be part of a special group of Pennsylvanians. You’ll receive “insider” information on the latest events, news and happenings, and even be eligible for special giveaways and prizes. Beginning in January, we’ll send you a quick e-newsletter once a month with important tips, news and conservation highlights.
