excerpt from article:   A stand of old growth white pine trees on the Finger Lakes National Forest's Burnt Hill are no longer scheduled for removal as part of a timber sale.  Hector District Ranger Michael C. Liu said the 12 white pines, considered to be the largest and oldest of their species on the national forest, are no longer a part of what is known as the Cotton Mill Timber Sale.  Mike DeMunn of Burdett, a private forestry consultant formerly with the U.S. Forest Service and the National Park Service, pointed out that the old-growth white pine trees range from 100 to 150 years of age. He noted "they stand some 50 feet above the forest canopy and are still growing."
