Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forest Resources of Pennsylvania The previous inventory of 1978 (powell and Considine 1982) found the Pennsylvania forests generally in good shape. Growth exceeded harvest by a wide margin and total volume of all species showed a considerable increase over 1965. The major concerns in 1978 were insect and disease problems, especially those associated with gypsy moth defoliation. At that time, mortality related to gypsy moth defoliation was only a serious problem in the Northeastern and Pocono Units of the state.

This book was released on 2017-10-25 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Beech-Birch-Maple Forest Type in Pennsylvania With the culling of the softwoods from the great northern forests of Pennsylvania, the area occupied by the now dominant beech-birch maple type has been extended until it covers about one-third of the total forest area. It is one of the most important types found in the State. The species growing in these forests are extensive and intensive reproducers; hence, in the future we may expect the more aggressive, faster-growing trees gradually to crowd out and reduce the number of the less aggressive, and, in the main, poorer and less desirable trees. Because of the very nature of these forests it is doubtful whether present conditions will change to any appreciable degree, except for this gradual and natural improvement, and to such extent as the forest may be influenced by cutting and fire.

Download or read book Pennsylvania Trees Classic Reprint written by J. S. Illick and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-13 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pennsylvania Trees Trees are among the commonest and most conspicuous objects of nature. The numerous products derived from them are very use ful, often indispensable. In all ages trees and grasses have been the most important products of the soil. A dense and valuable tree growth covered originally almost the entire area of Pennsylvania. About 278 species of trees and shrubs are native to this State, of which number 125 are trees. The number of native representatives in the present forests is the same as in the original forest. While the number of representatives remains the same, yet one finds a marked difference in the degree of their abundance, and in their age, size, form, density, quality, value, and productivity. The original forest of the State was large, dense, and extremely productive. The present. Forests are small, Open, and very unproductive. Each gener ation of mankind has seen a smaller, more open, and less productive generation of forests. It is not a prophecy, but the statement of a fact, when we say that the source of our timber supply is becom ing an acute and vital question. Fast-vanishing forests and ever rising lumber prices are couriers of this fact. The Federal and some State Governments have already inaugurated policies to offset the present destructive tendency in our forests by starting constructive work. To date no state has made a greater advance in forestry than Pennsylvania. She has, however, just started on this useful mission. The men who are directing her forest. Policies are endeavoring to lay a substantial foundation upon which a stable superstructure may be reared. In order to accomplish this it is necessary to have the co-operation of the citizens of the State, especially the woodland owners and managers. Forestry needs the support of public senti ment. No substantial and permanent advance is insured until our citizens understand the fundamentals of forestry and can distin guish the important timber trees from the inferior weed trees. It is hoped that the sphere of usefulness of this bulletin, will not be limited to woodland owners and managers, but will extend to lay men, students, and botanists.

This book was released on 2018-01-08 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Pennsylvania Department of Forests and Waters, From January 1, 1922 to May 31, 1924 The revelation of this condition in Pennsylvania and other States has stirred the public to the need for comprehensive conservation programs. It is giving more and more thought to the production and use of forest, stream and mine. It is supporting intelligent action to assure a continuance of these resources. In no State are constructive efforts in conservation more earnestly supported by its citizens than in Pennsylvania. To no State will the benefits secured be greater. Our acres of forest land are capable of turning out, if handled properly, cords of wood annually. The benefits to the State of properly managed forests. Aside from their wood value, are incalculable, touching as they do the health, welfare and happiness of every citizen. Our water courses, with an annual run-off of approximately million cubic feet, are of in estimable worth for water supply, water power, and navigation. Their possibilities under development are tremendous. The mineral resources of the State have made her the industrial Titan among the States of the Union. The wise use of our natural resources, whether renewable or non-renewable. Is the measure of our thrift and stewardship. The treatment and use of such important resources. Which occupy an outstanding place in our everyday life, is worthy of the most enlightened study and practice - a program to which the Common wealth is now definitely committed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pennsylvania Forestry Pamphlets, Vol. 2 The special report of Dr. Rothrock shows that the division has over practical correspondents, and that a large number of blanks have been sent out asking for information relative to the amount of timber which has been cut during the year, the condition and value of that left standing and for information upon other topics relating to the forest interests of our State, and the replies already received to these circulars of inquiry clearly prove that Dr. Rothrock will be able to lay before our next Legislature information of such a practical char acter as will relieve the division from any mistaken criticism and show the wisdom of the legislation secured last winter. Arrangements have been made to secure special reports from ex perts in relation to the relations of our forests to water powers which, owing to the rapid introduction of electricity as a power, are annually becoming more valuable and more worthy of protection. The study of the various fungi which causes more or less loss to our forests, shade and fruit trees has also had the attention of the division, and it has been the pleasure of the Department to heartily cooperate with Dr. Rothrock in this special direction.

This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 698 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Pennsylvania Department of Forestry for the Years 1910-11 The city of San Diego in California, however, is wiser than the Pennsylvania cities, and has lately set aside as a municipal forest an area of nearly acres of land in a compact body, lying adjacent to the city, and which it proposes to use for the purpose of tree grow ing on those parts unsuited for the raising of any other crop, and for agricultural purposes all those portions which may be used for agriculture. It is the intention to improve the entire tract, and this is being done at the rate of about 250 acres per year. Young forest trees are being planted, and it is hoped that ultimately at least acres of the land will be put into permanent forest. The remaining acres will be devoted to agricultural purposes under the direction and management of the city. Here also is a new thought for a city to lease land to its citizens for agriculture. It is further the purpose of San Diego to establish a forest tree nursery at some suitable place on this tract for the growing of seed ling trees to sell to farmers and land owners throughout southern California for the establishment of woodlots. The aim is to grow a million seeding trees each year. It is further the plan of Mr. Watson, the forester in charge, to bring seeds from various parts of the United States and probably foreign countries, and test out their growth in California, thus learning their comparative value for use as new species of trees in growing California's future forests. Principally at this time they are concerning themselves with the eucalyptus, but other species will be needed for the more elevated and colder portions of the tract.

Our books are the products of the forests. Our _ideas of each other, of religion, of patriotism, are determined by and kept alive by the books we read, and by the daily papers.' Diminished forests are making these things more expensive. There may be a time when papers and books will be beyond the reach of the average individual resulting in wide-spread influence and a backward step in civilization. It is, therefore, evident that the forest and its products enter largely into our every day needs. Everybody loses when timber burns.

Twenty states outrank it today.

In additional 18 per cent boars only scrub oak, dwarfed aspen, fire - cherry, and other worthless species.
