Who is she? ❤

Great! The ecosystem of the Allegheny National Forest is also spreading north into the Allegany State Park of neighboring New York. Deer “volunteered” to move north from the national forest into the new state park in the mid 1930’s. The forests here are all second growth but benefit from the national forest ecosystem to its south. Now if PA could just spare a few elk…

Over 65% of Virginia is forested with 45% of that being old growth trees

the first 3 minutes of nonsense Indian rhetoric was retarded. I was hoping for a good educational video, but it immediately started out with fallacies.

Far from the mudding crowd.

Thank goodness

I live in maine.the northern part of the state has been logged so many times that you can drive for hours and never see a tree over 10" in diameter.pathetic.they call it the north maine woods but its really the "north maine brush lands"

Maybe just too creative on the truth, Pennsylvania seems to be a gem, yet, unfortunately so unaware of its Forests, focused on the West, but hope PA is able to bridge the gap, as some of this seems not Scientifically based. Tree Species do have life expectancies, so just hope she realizes Ancient and Old Growth Forests are sometimes just a dream in growth.

When visiting the east i was confounded by the forests consisting of mostly what we call sucker trees, thick forests of short skinny undergrowth trees.Living out west the old trees here are massive 200-400 feet tall and thousands of years old, not hundreds, Thankfully the lumber people didnt take them all out like on the east coast, But they did put a huge dent into our forests, Ignorance knew no bounds for those so called pioneers who thought they would never run out of trees for they uses.

I'm so glad I found this video. It's so well presented and full of factual material. The forestry and plants pictured in the film are alluring and breathtaking in their majesty and beauty. It inspires some optimism and offers a ray of hope that in spite of the unrelenting encroachment of humankind, there are still people who care and are endeavoring to their utmost to preserve what little of nature still remains on this planet for us all and for future generations to see. It is terribly saddening to realize how much is gone and how integral it is to our very nature and survival.

so this is a renewable resource //// wow who new

10,000 acres! Sad

I spent the best five summers of my life in northeast Pennsylvania, in Wayne county, at a summer camp just outside the town of Honesdale. It was a beautiful spot. Once the power went out, and you could see the whole of the Milky Way Galaxy. If that wasn't enough, a meteor shower started. I just lay on the ground in awe, watching the sky. That was nearly forty years ago, and remains the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I still dream about it sometimes.

Walking off-trail through Tionesta Forest is like taking a time machine back 2000 years.

I was lucky enough to get a private tour from Dale luthinger and he showed me the 3 biggest trees in cooks forest

As of this date most of those hemlocks are dead.

I live in an area in N. Georgia. On my property I have an area that is on a very steep area. I have several what I consider to be old growth. I have several tulip poplar trees that are 7ft. around and bigger. I have one hickory that is about 300 years old. All in all I have 6 giant trees. That is continued on the propertys that border mine with more of these giants that were probably spared due to the steep terrain they are on.

There aren't many areas in the world like old growth, I've visited one, amazing wildlife and micro insect world, the floor of the old growth is spongy and alive. 🙏

I once went on a walk to a stand of old growth pines while at bear camp in the sprawl the guys I went with said its about five miles back in the woods I was up for the adventure they said something about the log book everyone had to sign well I had a great time found a bunch of chantrelles and saw a bunch of stuff beat sitting around at camp drinking beer and telling lies

In Pennsylvania the remaining forest follow the mountain range going north east except for the upper third of the state. Just look at Google Earth.

We have far too many big trees and big forests remaining in this state. Best to cut them and sell them.

very cool!

Who is this chick? Artur Kent's daughter?

In front of my old house across the street there is an elm tree that stands well over 100ft tall but the trunk is amazingly huge ! It takes 4 to 5 grown men holding hands stretched out around the trunk to complete. it has to be at least 300 yrs old.

Sounds like a dog 🤔?

Glad this popped up in my suggested list. Great vid. Thx for uploading.

Fascinating

Climate change is not influenced or caused by human activity in the USA. It is not influenced or caused by the use of fossil fuels. I have planted thousands of trees and provide homes for millions of trees, plants, birds, animals, and creatures.

u look at all the wood dropped and its like there is no way they are using all that wood. I wonder what percentage of the woods they didn't use when they first cut down all these forests!!!

this is why iceland and scotland has no forests

Nice video! I am a subscriber, and I am always happy to watch your videos, especially ones on old-growth and forest-ecology (that is what I plan to study here in PA when I graduate).

Love the videos great to see a new one!

It's too bad the Commonwealth didn't do anything about the Woolly Adelgid when it infected the Hemlock Natural Area in the Tuscarora State Forest. The largest area of virgin Hemlock, many larger than 36" in diameter, NOW DEAD because they weren't treated. The entire 120 acres, dead. What a waste...

❤❤❤👍

Scheafs ... You there buddy?

Here is a list of all the known old-growth forests in the ENTIRE STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA!: ents-bbs.org/viewtopic.php?f=115&p=45504#p45323

We have white pines big around as cars on a hill behind my house. Not as rare as you might think.

Sierra Club is fighting four logging bills in New Jersey !

Here in New York State there are still places with bigger white pines than those shown- (I am aware bigger ones also exist in Pennsylvania as well.) White pines 3 feet diameter or bigger are still found in many places across the state. There is a swamp white oak south of Rochester across from my mother's place that is about 7 feet diameter and 40 feet up to to the first branch yet the spread causes branches to droop near to the ground. The height is about 30 feet above surrounding woods. New York State does not have very large old growth forests but there are so many smaller ones that they estimate 350,000 acres exist. Authority Bruce S. Kershner wrote the "Sierra Club Guide to Old Growth Forests of the Northeast." for those interested in this subject.

Misrepresentation of pre-Columbian history. Native populations would burn forests to aid hunting practices. Human impact only expanded with the industrial revolution. Where there is man, there is impact.

She’s noDavid Attenborough

I love this stuff more than anything els

Maddening sounds of today's world? Like the music?

Loved the video! ❤️

See the old trees while you can. We’ll be cutting them down snd sending them to China soon.

Thanks for the video. I wish the audio could have been captured w less noise.

This publication greatly enjoyed! ...my mind equates overharvest there to slow growh Cypress, Cedar and White Pine in Florida (Taxus, Pinus and Juniperus). Let us hope compressed mycelliae can appease a lot of the demand for ALL SPECIES of wood in ALL ITS APPLICATIONS PROPERTIES - including its STORY OF ACQUISITION (propagation and further processing for grain and color. No shortage of humans or their efficiently THUMBED TOOLS ya know. We need more of Earth's people to understand sustainability and have respect for the provisions.

Which is MORE VALUABLE?The old vs. 2nd forest question - "FUNGIMENTAL"in a rudimentary way. Ask mycologist Paul Stiemetz. The speaker mentioning lichens WAS ON THAT SAME NOTE. But I am willing to bet the best distribition of microbes is not immediately ESTABLISHED and also lost with unnatural disturbances. And yeah, never EVERtake the life of any carnivore just so you can ranch domestically or hunt when you do. I do not tolrrste asians eating my Florida freshwater turtles, or our marine conchs.... AND DONT EAT BATS EITHER YELLER BELLY! They pollinate and control particular insects. ...humans need wildlife but the CONVERSE IS NOT TRUE

I never knew Alex Borstein was a host for nature conservation/forest awareness.
