K pp , 1 29 81 r r r f o A small additional a ea is unde cont act, about su ficient t r r f 1 1 require the balance of the app op iation made at the session o 9 5 . It is estimated that at least acres of the total area of the ' State consists of land not well suited f or anything else but the r r growing of trees . With a little mo e than ac es in State r e r o f owne ship, it b comes obvious at once that an a ea about ‘ acres still in private ownership is being i ndi fierentl y cared f or and probably will not receive the development it should have in order i ts r . to bring it up to p oducing capacity The State should , there r r r r fo e, inc ease its holdings . F om the expe ience gained as Com e r r o of r r mission r du ing a pe i d mo e than ten yea s, I am convinced that the State ultimately ought to own not less than acres r in State Fo ests, and that the holding should be extended into r r rm r r r counties where the e are none at p esent . In my fo e epo t it was suggested that at least 22 more counties should appear i n the r F o r f list as containing State Fo ests . the sake o the c ollateral f or r are a things which State Fo ests v luable, we believe their acqui si ti on i h r r at this time to be dist nct economy, and t ei g adual develop r r of ment unde State p otection would be value today, even though r that development proceed slowly . Forest a eas in State ownership r r r receive better attention than simila land in p ivate owne ship . The welfare of the State demands that as much as possible of ou r wild he r r and abandoned land b ought back to a p oductive condition, the s ooner the better .

  • PRIMITIVE CAMPING in Pennsylvania State Parks and Forests 11/2014
    PRIMITIVE CAMPING in Pennsylvania State Parks and Forests 11/2014 What is Primitive Camping? Primitive camping is a simplistic style of camping. Campers hike, pedal or paddle to reach a location and spend the night without the presence of developed facilities. This primitive camping experience takes place off the beaten path, where piped water, restrooms and other amenities are not provided. You pack in all you need, exchanging a few conveniences for the solitude found in the back country setting. Fresh air, fewer people and out-of-the-way natural landscapes are some of the benefits of primitive camping. Once off the beaten path, however, additional advantages begin to surface such as a deeper awareness and greater appreciation of the outdoor world around you. Primitive camping also builds outdoor skills and fosters a gratifying sense of self-sufficiency. Where to Camp Pennsylvania has 2.2 million acres of state forest land with 2,500 miles of trails and 5,132 miles of Camping at rivers and streams winding through it. Hiking, biking and multi-use trails traverse most state forest districts and six districts have designated water trails that transect state forest land. Forest Districts State parks are not open to primitive camping. However, with the exception of William Penn State Forest, all state forest districts are open to this activity. Camping is not permitted in designated STATE FOREST DISTRICTS: natural areas or at vistas, trail heads, picnic areas and areas that are posted closed to camping. Bald Eagle State Forest (570) 922-3344 Contact a forest district office for specific information, maps and Camping Permits (if needed).

  • FALL FOLIAGE REPORT October 1 – October 7, 2020
    Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Bureau of Forestry PENNSYLVANIA WEEKLY FALL FOLIAGE REPORT October 1 – October 7, 2020 TIOGA CAMERON BRADFORD To predict peak season from the colors, use these guidelines: ➢ Dark Green/No Change= peak is three weeks to a month away ➢ Light Green/Starting to Change= peak is approximately two to three weeks away ➢ Yellow/Approaching Best Color= peak is approximately one week away ➢ Orange/Best Color= foliage is peaking this week ➢ Red/Starting to Fade= still some nice color but won’t last more than a few more days ➢ Brown/Past Peak= all or nearly all color is gone Statewide Fall Foliage Overview What a difference a week makes! Cold and frosty nights and very dry conditions have ushered in marked changes across the northern tier, where foliage is at its spectacular peak. Sugar and red maples are the stars of the show, contrasting beautifully with the still-green oak canopies. Another cold snap could jumpstart much of the Appalachian and Allegheny mountain regions, setting the table for back to back weeks of fantastic fall foliage viewing opportunities across wide swaths of the commonwealth. Northwestern Region The district manager in Cornplanter State Forest District (Warren, Erie counties) reports that cooler nights have spurred fall colors in northwest Pennsylvania. Many oaks are still quite green, but maples (sugar and red) are displaying brilliant colors. Aspen, hickory, and birch are continuing to color the landscape with warm yellow hues. Route 6 to Chapman State Park is a recommended fall foliage corridor in Warren County. Exciting fall color can be found at Chapman State Park.

While some northern counties have begun to fade, central forests are now stealing the show. Awesome color can be found from northwestern Pennsylvania through the Alleghenies and central Appalachians, to the Pocono region. Forecasted seasonable temperatures should facilitate a gradual transition of color throughout southern areas of the commonwealth, affording fantastic viewing opportunities into late October. Northwestern Region The district manager in Cornplanter State Forest District (Warren, Erie counties) stated that cool nights have brought on a splendid array of colors on the hillsides of northwestern Pennsylvania. Although peak is still more than a week away, every shade of yellow, red, orange, and brown is represented in the forested landscape. It’s a great time to get outdoors and take advantage of the autumn experience and the many opportunities to walk forested trails carpeted in newly fallen leaves! To view and enjoy the fall foliage by vehicle, consider taking routes 666, 62, 59, or 321.
