"Wellsboro's Gold Bird Town designation highlights the region's commitment to conservation and immersive nature experiences," said Colleen Hanson, executive director of Visit Potter-Tioga. "Visitors can enjoy birdwatching, explore wetlands and forests, and support a community that values its wildlife and natural landscapes."

Wellsboro is home to a diversity of birds, including bald eagles, Cooper's hawks, sharp-shinned hawks, great blue herons, yellow warblers, and more. Birding enthusiasts can explore local trails, wetlands, observation blinds, and guided programs that showcase the region's ecosystems.

Beyond birding, the Potter-Tioga region offers abundant outdoor recreation – from hiking along the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon and Pine Creek Rail Trail, voted 2026 Trail of the Year, to stargazing at Cherry Springs State Park, a designated International Dark Sky Park – making it a premier destination for nature enthusiasts.
