Map of Pennsylvania State Forests

Explore, Enjoy and Protect the Planet

Pennsylvania Land Area	28,863,000 acres
Forested (Public and Private)	20,078,000 acres
State Forest Land	2,100,000 acres
State Forest Wild Areas	145,000 acres
Protected Natural Areas	79,000 acres

Even if we protect all 145,000 acres of state forest wild areas, only a fraction of Pennsylvania - less than 1% - will be left wild and protected for future generations to enjoy.
