WELCOME TO THE HOME OF THE KEYSTONE ELK COUNTRY ALLIANCE
“CONSERVING & ENHANCING PENNSYLVANIA’S ELK COUNTRY FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS”
The Keystone Elk Country Alliance (KECA) is a Pennsylvania based 501(c) non-profit wildlife conservation organization. KECA operates and manages the Elk Country Visitor Center and the surrounding properties in Benezette, Pennsylvania to benefit the future of Elk Country, and the enjoyment of hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. Guests will enjoy conservation education programs, our 4D story theater, our two ECCO Buildings (Elk Country Campus Outdoors Buildings) which are available for programs and events, the interactive displays and diorama in the heart of the Visitor Center as well as the hundreds of wild elk that call the property surrounding the Visitor Center home. We welcome you to come and experience Elk Country for yourself. KECA is membership based, but volunteer driven, with volunteers helping us complete our mission on a daily basis.
KECA’s resources have been focused on improving hundreds of acres on the property surrounding the Elk Country Visitor Center along with many projects on both public and private land. Our commitment is to Elk Country first. One way that commitment is fulfilled is through our amazing conservation education programs. Take part in our programs here at the Elk Country Visitor Center, or through our web-based distance learning program. For more information on any of our programs, contact us today.
KECA EVENTS
Each year, volunteer-led KECA Conservation Banquets and fundraisers are held across Pennsylvania to support the Keystone Elk Country Alliance and its mission to conserve and enhance Elk Country for future generations.
These banquets are the backbone of KECA fundraising and feature unique local styles, fun games and raffles, silent and live auctions with exclusive experiences, and limited-edition items—including a custom firearm each year—making every event both impactful and enjoyable.
By attending a KECA Conservation Banquet, you’re not only enjoying a great evening of fun and camaraderie, but also directly supporting KECA’s efforts to protect and preserve Pennsylvania’s Elk Country for generations to come.
