That brings the Pennsylvania RI up to 144.3:
Concerning
Ricketts Glen NA & state park. I guess for simplicity sake,
we
should just call it Ricketts Glen State Park. Some of the trees
in its RI
are from within two different natural areas (Ricketts Glen N.A.
& Boston
Run N.A.) and non designated state park property. That would
also follow
the same pattern I've used for Cook Forest.
Oh yes, I've got another update for Cook Forest's RI but may
have not
posted it yet on the ENTS site. Here's my current RI for Cook
Forest:
