Pennsylvania Forest History

wheres all the giant 2 thousand year old trees? all gone. all the black n white photos of pittsburgh and pennsylvania show complete barren lands. 😢 🍻

3 days after graduation? Nothing funny about who he knew to spread bs

😊

Not to responsible to spray millions of gallons of toxic pesticides herbicides on the land

today a navigable waterway is 400 acers or larger & has drainage that can float a match or tooth pick. i believe in forest management, sometime you get a forester that make you jump thru the hoops for them just to get starter on a new plot
OVER regulation

This guy got a college degree and got a government job three days after graduation lol. The only way to do that these days is if you've got a friend on the inside. College degrees aren't worth the paper they're printed on these days.

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….

Pay attention...history of the Pilgrims ends here.

Looks like sasquatch territory for sure.

Should do a story on that tornado that leveled all the trees in that one valley. That was insane.

GOD BLESS YOU SIR ☦️🇺🇲

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 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.

Very informative. We have to preserve what our founders have built for us.

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.

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

Very interesting!

Great video! But the only thing that will save the forests is private ownership

sorry, most of what you say are forest are merely woodlands, big difference there, unfortunately most if not all forest are gone.

Great Video!!

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

Government destroyed our lands. Many many species of animals completely wiped out from government bounties never to be restored. Where are our natural and native animals like our wolves? Our mountain lions? Government always promising hope, but always bringing us destruction.

Such bullshit. You call that a forrest? They cut off the biggest trees up to 600 meters high and 50 meters wide. But they don´t even show the pictures.

I would like another round of C.C.C. post Covid19. I think our grandchildren would benefit greatly of it.

I could sit and just listen to this fine gentleman forever.

Those houses now are all college houses.

Well done, very interesting and informative

"management of forestry" 2009 = forest destruction and desolate tree farm monocultures. Slow learners...

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 !

My great grandfather was a pennsylvania forest ranger 1920s
