Ongoing Projects

Each spring since 1993, the Hardwood Forestry Fund has partnered with the PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources to plant trees at the site of the 10,000 acre Two Rock Run Wildfire. PA Bureau of Forestry staff prepares the site and digs holes for the trees. Penn ReLeaf volunteers, Bucktail High School students, Loch Haven High School students and Penn State University volunteers plant the trees.

This site utilizes tree shelters to protect young seedlings from heavy deer browse. Trees planted include red oak, black cherry, and white ash. Major benefits are wildlife habitat enhancement, future timber crops, and watershed protection.
