Description of the organization found online 11-15-2021:
The "Bios Club" was formed in 1970 and made the Western Pennsylvania Chapter (WPASCB) of the Society for Conservation Biology (SCB) in 2010. Our original constitution was signed by James Gemmell and the organization will celebrate 50 years at Clarion University in 2020. This organization brings people together who have a love of nature and biology. Opportunities and activities are decided by our members. WPASCB functions in three general areas: Conservation Outreach, Service, and Research. WPASCB maintains the Clarion Loop Trail and performs Eastern Box Turtle head-start and research in collaboration with the Eastern Box Turtle Conservation Trust. WPASCB members are strongly encouraged to join SCB so that they, and the Chapter, can access resources offered by and contribute to SCB global. Since WPASCB is not just an RSO but also an SCB Chapter, members can remain members for life.
