 The Wayne National Forest is a working forest that provides multiple uses and multiple products. While visiting you may see management in progress. Some areas are maintained in an open condition, either by bush-hogging or with prescribed fire. In other areas you may see trees being planted, thinned, pruned, or harvested.
The Forest provides diverse habitats for the plant and animal communities of southeastern Ohio. Some tree species for instance, require full sunlight to germinate and grow. Harvesting the over-story also provides for many of the nut and berry producing plants required by some wildlife.
Our goal is that any disturbance in the forest lies lightly on the land, allowing management projects to be compatible with other benefits of the Forest our public enjoys.
