Pine Log State Forest

About Pine Log State Forest

It is a national pine forest and was purchased in 1936 by the U.S. Forest Service and the U.S.

Department of Agriculture (USDA). The forest administration has envisaged several uses of forest resources as an approach to ecosystem management, including timber harvesting, logging, mining and wood processing. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) of the State of New York has been appointed Head of Management of the Pine Log State Forest.

Several natural communities within the forest are planted with a variety of tree species, such as pines, elms, birches, pines, oaks, cedars, oaks, pineapples and other species.

These include the Titus swamps, the pine trunk forest and a number of other natural communities within the forest, as well as a variety of wildlife.

The Florida National Scenic Trail leads from the forest in the northwest corner of the grounds to the campground. A 14 km trail has been developed through the State Forest of Pine Log, which includes some of Florida's most scenic and scenic trails, as well as a variety of animal species.
