Millersville Biology Students Help at Elk Check Station

On November 2nd 2016, Millersville Biology students (Bernard Hopewell, Halie Parker, Maggie Wallner and Brendan Miller) helped out at the Pennsylvania Game Commission Elk Check Station in Benezette, PA.  Under the guidance of Elk Biologist Jeremy Banfield and Wildlife Veterinarian Justin Brown, students helped with weighting and aging elk. Students also learned how to take samples and check for diseases such as Tuberculosis, Meningeal worms and Chronic Wasting Disease.  This was a great learning experience provided by great Professionals at the Pennsylvania Game Commission.  Funds for Millersville student travel were provided by the Hummelstown Shooting Association and Field and Stream Association.
