Our state forest: If you can't measure it, you can't manage it.
DCNR's predecessor, the Bureau of Forests & Waters, purchased 18,870 acres of land in eastern Lycoming County in 1933. The owner of the land retained the mineral rights and put a clause in the deed which granted him access to the land for 50 years. That right of access expired in 1983.
