Rescue services are provided by the Fairmount Fire Company, North Mountain Rescue Team, Mildred Technical Rescue Team; Sweet Valley Ambulance and Mildred Ambulance Services. Mildred Ambulance Service provides a special 6 wheel vehicle that can transcend the parks trails and service roads for quick extraction. Together with the well trained park officers and local emergency volunteers, visitors to the park can be assured they are in good hands in the event of an accident...or lapse in common sense.
Here is an excellent source of 600+ freely licensed images of this park: [1].-- GrapedApe ( talk) 03:25, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
I propose some edits to the mammals section. The content of the section deviates from the topic at times, mentioning non-mammal creatures: "Less common creatures include Beaver, Bobcat, Coyote, Fisher, Mink, Muskrat, Red Fox, River Otter, and Timber Rattlesnake. Ricketts Glen is also known for its wild flowers, butterflies, and dragonflies." At the least these two sentences should say something like "also, non-mammal species include..." Thoughts?
Additionally, some of the history and facts of the PA White-tailed Deer take away from what should be the topic sentence of paragraph two. The intent of this paragraph is to show how PA's White-tailed history relates to what is found in the park now. Yet, the first clause of the topic sentence focuses the paragraph on the much broader topic of PA's complicated White-tailed history and problems, instead of making Ricketts Glen the focus. Perhaps the topic should be mentioned in the wiki article on PA (w/ an added ecology section) or some other topic. Also, some of the facts mentioned throughout seem out of place or unconnected to the subject of the paragraph. At the least these two sentences need to be connected to the topic better or they should be removed: "Pennsylvania's deer population today is descended from the stock introduced since 1906" and "The White-tailed Deer became the official state animal in 1959."
I am willing to attempt rewrites for this section. Jpmarkel ( talk) 13:21, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
In this section, the number of species of birds recorded in this state park is 75. I don't know the correct number, but 148 species have been recorded in the park by users of eBird.
