Northeastern Area State and Private Forestry

"...a significant threat to Pennsylvania agriculture, including the grape, tree-fruit, hardwood and nursery industries, which collectively are worth nearly $18 billion to the state's economy."

This guide was developed by a committee of program managers. We recognize that each State has achieved tremendous accomplishments in forest stewardship

We are committed to creating and maintaining a work environment in which all people are treated with dignity, fairness, and respect, and are free from harassment.

Wood may be the forest product people think of first, but clean air and water are used the most. Healthy woods give us these benefits and others, like space for learning and recreation. We support forest stewardship and markets for forest products, so working woodlands will keep giving.
