  Pennslvania Forests
   
   
   
 


With over 2 million acres of State managed land and even more private forest land, Pennsylvania is home to some of the most abundant and accessible forests in the country. These forests provide valuable habitat for wildlife, lumber and wood products such as paper and furniture, recreation opportunities like hiking and hunting, and on and on. These woods are a rich heritage for future generations.

For more information about our state's forests and their management, the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) has an excellent site.
