White Pine – Heart’s Content
A massive white pine, Pinus strobus, at Heart’s Content in the Allegheny National Forest and adjacent to Hickory Creek Wilderness. Unfortunately these old virgin pines don’t seem to be reproducing. Or their young are not surviving. The Hemlocks, Tsuga canadensis, also massive and virgin, seem to be reproducing with a vengeance. This small ~50 acre area has survived the bucksaws of the turn to the 20th century due to a surveyor’s error. It’s beauty is a suggestion of the majesty that once blanketed Eastern North America.
