The Pedlar Wildlife Management Area is located on 766 acres (310 ha) east of Blacksville in Monongalia County, West Virginia. The wildlife management area is divided into two parts centered around 5.5-acre (2.2 ha) Dixon Lake and 14.5-acre (5.9 ha) Mason Lake, named for nearby Mason-Dixon Line.
Pedlar was deeded to the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources by Consol Energy and initially opened in 2004. Improvements to the lakes and a public shooting range at Mason Lake were completed in 2007.

“Russian forests crash down under the axe, billions of trees are dying, the habitations of animals and birds are layed waste, rivers grow shallow and dry up, marvelous landscapes are disappearing forever.... Man is endowed with creativity in order to multiply that which has been given him; he has not created, but destroyed. There are fewer and fewer forests, rivers are drying up, wildlife has become extinct, the climate is ruined, and the earth is becoming ever poorer and uglier.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
“Whatever an artist’s personal feelings are, as soon as an artist fills a certain area on the canvas or circumscribes it, he becomes historical. He acts from or upon other artists.”
