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.
really have you seen the so called forest lately ,they have all been murdered for lumber ,there is barely any old growth left .all the hills and valleys went from old growth forest to shrub covered woodlands.@@Leo-vr3bg you cant keep telling yourself we have forest thats the problem .
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.
@@eatingplaydoh up somewhere near clarion I believe? I went hunting with a friend and his dad at his camp and we went and looked at it. It was amazing how many trees destroyed.
May 31st 1985. There were a number of Tornadoes that hit. That fit your description. Tionesta had an F-3 Cooperstown Venango.County Cochranton and Atlantic in Crawford Co. were hit by the same familty if not the same Tornado. An F-4 I believe it was rated an F-3 at Cooperstown. Moshanon State forest had an F-4 that touched down near Pennfield PA and went almost 100 miles dissipating near Lock Haven. It was a giant lawn mower leveling every tree within its major damage path.
Very educational , but you know greedy man wants to chop down every last tree... and when we get to the last one there will be a global war who gets to do it.
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 !
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

I could sit and just listen to this fine gentleman forever.
I would like another round of C.C.C. post Covid19. I think our grandchildren would benefit greatly of it.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻agree!!!!

Very informative. We have to preserve what our founders have built for us.
Very Good overview of the History of Pennsylvania's Forest. Highly recommended.
Great overview of the history of the Pennsylvania Forest. Highly recommended.
I participated in the YCC program thru the PA Dept. Of Natural Resources in the early 80’s….a fantastic program for the young working age….
Great Video!!
Looks like sasquatch territory for sure.
Well done, very interesting and informative
sorry, most of what you say are forest are merely woodlands, big difference there, unfortunately most if not all forest are gone.
It is not woodlands, woodlands don’t really grow in PA. We have a firm canopy over the vast majority of our forests.

My great grandfather was a pennsylvania forest ranger 1920s

Alleghany forest and cooks forest
Should do a story on that tornado that leveled all the trees in that one valley. That was insane.
Over by troy?

I can't even tell you how fun it was when I was little acting like I was hot stuff and famous because I am a Rothrock lol
"management of forestry" 2009 = forest destruction and desolate tree farm monocultures. Slow learners...
Those houses now are all college houses.
Pay attention...history of the Pilgrims ends here.
GOD BLESS YOU SIR ☦️🇺🇲
I love how he starts off saying he grew up in the Allegheny National Forest. I wanna know how he was born and raised in there though. Lol
The Allegheny national forest used to be farmland not too long ago. There’s also quite a few towns present in the forest.
@@Leo-vr3bg yeah it’s beautiful there.
Great video! But the only thing that will save the forests is private ownership
even there they cut the timber for a mere buck

social justice coupled with nature justice equals justice through and through
The Rothschilds don't care about Pennsylvania forests.
It hilarious hearing that coming from someone who lives in this world
@@daphneszeles28 may I quote your list of forest resources in my family history photo book?
