    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.

      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.

    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 5 лет назад +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
