Website Updates – Trees of PA

We are providing this blog to compliment the main website, Trees of PA. However, we are giving it a complete makeover, which means we don’t really want you visiting there just yet!

We do have quite a bit of the home page in presentable order, but you can’t link to anything from it yet. If you would like to take a peek, you can see it here – Home Page, Trees of PA.

We are presenting our resource on trees and forests in two broad areas: general tree/forest information and local (generally county) resources. The general knowledge features are listed on the left side of the page, and we describe our local/county focus on the top right. As you will see, we will also be featuring a different PA tree species each week and offering a regular column.

We will have a page for each county. You can review the Cambria County page to see the types of resources we will be offering and recommending.

We hope to have much of the site in place by September 15 and to be fully functioning by October 15. Please continue to check this blog for relevant current information.

Coming Soon….

Pennsylvania has some of the most spectacular forests on the planet, but we are at a critical point in terms of managing this special treasure.

We have access to the specialized resources essential for engaging in good stewardship on our lands, but many PA residents don’t even know that it exists. Even worse, far too many of our woodlot owners do not understand their role in planning for the future.

This blog, as a tool for the website “Trees of Pennsylvania” will assist in pulling it all together.

I am retooling the website and prioritizing tasks. An update will appear by Sunday, and it will include a list of available resources and target dates for fully implementing this effort.
