From laptops to trees, our employees are taking caring of our furry and feathered friends!

Kevin Eck, consultant, Regional External Affairs, presented a donation of four laptop computers to the Antietam Humane Society in Waynesboro. The organization’s mission focuses on the prevention of cruelty to animals and the promotion of humane treatment. The facility is a no-kill center, adopting out hundreds of cats and dogs per year, while also offering crucial animal support programs. The center’s staff needed newer computers and have already put these four laptops to great use.

Our West Penn Power Green Team recently worked with Ohiopyle State Park in Confluence to create a wildlife habitat with native Pennsylvania plants. Our team joined other park employees on an unseasonably warm November morning to transform the field into a habitat for songbirds, bees, butterflies and other pollinators. For several hours, the Green Team broke up sod and planted sycamore, tulip poplar, river birch and cottonwood trees. They also planted flowering inkberry holly, nannyberry and redosier dogwood shrubs that produce edible berries and create thickets to feed and shelter birds and mammals.
