    PA was the original resource state in this country. Pennsylvanians learned sooner the costs of uncontrolled land use and were among the first environmentalists. Now PA has the nicest most abundant forests in the Appalachians.

      Very cool. Where did he work (geographically)? How large of an area would he oversee? What were his duties? My grandfather graduated from Penn State with a Forestry degree and eventually ended up at a Louisville Slugger factory outside of Troy, PA. He knew all of the rangers and game wardens in the area at the time.

    Where are the oldest trees at in Pennsylvania?! Does any Old growth still exist? I know in York county there are a few spots with anywhere from 200-450 year old trees.

      The Allegheny national forest used to be farmland not too long ago. There’s also quite a few towns present in the forest.

    @goognamgoognw6637 Před 6 lety +15

    It makes me laugh when they say 3/4 of the penn forest is privately owned. I do not recognize ownership of nature by any human and certainly not descendents of people who depleted and destroyed the much richer forests that once stood there of which most centuries old trees would still live today had they not been killed by them. So the criminals took what was not theirs and now claim they own it for ever ? All these ill gotten ownership is void. The land needs to be cleared from anybody who claims to have ownership of it and one day it will. This is historical crimes against nature. Also one planted tree does not equal one harvested tree but thousands of planted tree only equal to one harvested century old tree because only a few will age that old. So the whole claimed parity about "we grow more tree than we harvest" is a lie and therefore depletion and destruction of the forest ecosystem !

    • @daphneszeles28
      @daphneszeles28 Před 5 lety +5

      its not the ownership itself thats the issue, but the attitude towards the utility of the forest. it should be seen as a boon, as silviculture, as mushrooms for medicine/culinary use, as bushmeat/wild game, as herbs, greens, roots (tubers and corms too), as tree nuts (beech, acorn, chestnut, ash, pinenuts), ground nuts (like peanuts/nut sedge), maple and birch sap syrup, blueberries, hawthorns, huckleberries, partridgeberries, bunchberries, kousa dogwood fruit, cherries, crabapples, basswood leaves, greenbriar shoots, and more
