Nrcs Programs for Forest Landowners Pennsylvania Forests QUARTERLY MAGAZINE OF THE PENNSYLVANIA FORESTRY ASSOCIATION Volume 102 Number 4 Winter 2011 FOREST LANDOWNERS NRCS PROGRAMSFOR FOREST LANDOWNER ASSOCIATIONS Joining a local association dedicated to forest stewardship is an excellent way to become involved in sustaining Pennsylvania’s forest resources. Currently, nearly 1,000 people are members of the 27 local associations involved in forest stewardship in Pennsylvania. While a majority of members own forestland, most groups do not require land ownership. The objective of most Forest Landowner Associations (FLAs) is to provide educational opportunities for members. Although each group is independent, and missions and membership policies differ, most use meetings, field demonstrations, tours, seminars and newsletters to provide information about forests and sound forest management to their members and people in the local communities. If learning more about the stewardship of Pennsylvania’s forest resources interests you, consider joining one of the local organizations listed here. If there is no group in your area, consider starting one. For more information, contact the Penn State Forest Resources Extension office at 1.800.235.WISE (toll free) or visit the FLA site at http://paforeststewards.cas.psu.edu/Associations.html.

Once again, the seasons continue their pattern of change as we prepare for winter. The Pennsylvania Forestry Association is going through some changes too. We have several new members of the Board of Directors, along with two new officers. We are participating in a strategic planning process that will bring changes to the ways that we operate and present ourselves as an association. A new web site that will improve contact with our members and others is also in the works. A lot is happening at PFA right now. But in spite of all the change that is happening,

  • Penns Valley Rail Trail
    CHAPTER 5 DESIGN FEASIBILITY- what is the community’s vision for this trail? “Every five years, states across the nation are required to produce a new statewide recreation plan to remain eligible to receive federal Land and Water Conservation funds. The plan guides outdoor recreation programs, policies and projects … and developed actions for the future.” Summary from the PA Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan The centerpiece of PA’s statewide recreation plan is a survey of over 10,000 of the state’s citizens and recreation providers offering “insights into what Pennsylvanians want to do, where they go and what they value in their outdoor recreation lives. According to that survey, ¾ of respondents were actively engaged in outdoor recreation, with over half of them (53%) one or more times a week. About ¾ of the respondents to the state survey listed walking as their primary outdoor activity, validating the high percentage of people we surveyed (80%) who said they would use a rail trail in Penns and Brush Valley for walking. The Penns and Brush Valleys region is also becoming a preferred destination for riders of both skinny (on road) and fat tire (off road) bikes, with on road venues like PASA’s Bike Fresh Bike Local race that attracted over 300 cyclists for a 25, 50 or 75 mile on road event in 2013, or the Bald Eagle State Forest’s Wilderness 101 annual off road extreme mountain bike endurance event that attracts 200 to 300 riders from all over the country. While these once-a-year rigorously planned and choreographed events demonstrate the region’s attractiveness as a destination for serious cycling enthusiasts, it’s the growing demand for places where the general public can safely walk, bike, hike, visit a neighbor, watch wildlife, cross country ski, snowshoe, ride a horse, fish or hunt that sent many leaders of this community on a search for a safe alternative to the region’s heavily traveled roads and highways.

  • Natural Resources Forest Resources
    NATURAL RESOURCES FOREST RESOURCES An Eastern Deciduous Forest is dominated by trees that drop leaves in winter (deciduous trees). Throughout this type of forest, mature trees range in height from 60 to more than 100 feet, and the forest is usually layered with a distinct canopy, understory, shrub, and herbaceous layers. (See Figure 1: Forest Strata Layers) The canopy is distinguished by the crowns of the tallest trees. Beneath the canopy, FORESTS lies the understory which consists of smaller tree species. Below the understory is the shrub layer "Conservation is the foresighted utilization, made up of species such as Mountain Laurel preservation and\or renewal of forests, waters, which is very common in Pennsylvania. The lands and minerals, for the greatest good of the shrub layer is atop the herb/fern layer which is greatest number for the longest time." most evident in spring when many spring Gifford Pinchot ephemerals and wildflowers are in bloom. Forests Defined Forest strata layers also called stratification In a critical area, Forests are a biological allow various plant-growth forms to co-exist community dominated by trees and other woody within a given habitat. The structure of the plants covering a land area of one acre or more. forest is made of multiple layers that create This also includes forests that have been cut but multiple habitats for abundant plant and animal not cleared. In other areas, Forests are a species. Stratification is one pattern by which biological community dominated by trees and several distinct kinds of plants can share the other woody plants covering a land area of same space and resources.
