Pennsylvania’s Trees

We have begun to develop our pages on each of Pennsylvania’s major trees species. Visit our main Tree Page to review the list of the ones that will be covered for now (PA has over 100 species, but we are starting with 57). Our White Ash page is complete, and the American Elm page has data but needs photos.

Tree & Forest Photos:  We would be glad to include your tree photos on Trees of Pennsylvania. If you would like to share your favorite tree pictures, attach them to an email, include all the information you would like posted with them (location, photographer, etc), and then email to us at Tree Photos.  Thanks!

County Resources Pages Completed

We are pleased to announce that our County Pages are now complete. Although they will be an ongoing work in progess, the essentials are now available.

Many great resources are available across Pennsylvania to those interested in learning more about trees and forests. We believe that a great starting point is most often close to home. Our County Pages highlight some of the best resources in each county

PA Counties – Great Local Resources

One of the main thrusts of Trees of Pennsylvania involves identifying the great resources available close to home. Forest landowners and all other interested residents will be pleasantly surprised to learn about all of the great educational programs and expert advice available to them.

Each County page offers:

1. Links to the DCNR Bureau of Forestry Service Forester serving the county
2. Information and links on forest landowner associations serving the county
3. Links and the telephone number for the County Extension Office
4. A brief discussion of conservation organizations and contact information for those providing information in the county
5. A link to the PA Calendar on relevant educational programs and other events
6. An option for submitting tree and forest photos from that county
7. An email link for questions, comments, and suggestions.

We have our pages updated through Dauphin County (we are working through our updates alphabetically and expect to have all the pages completed by September 10). Please visit our Main County Page for links and more information.

We are concerned about adequately identifying all of the conservation districts that provide services in various counties. Unlike the other services we recommend, the conservation organizations frequently address issues in multiple counties. Therefore, we would greatly appreciate your input on those programs. Please Email Us if you would like to discuss conservation districts in PA.
