Fairmont Park: General canopy: The canopy is rugged
and weathered, offering very impressive and widely textured
vistas along the trail. Old-growth characteristics are
developing as the forest ages. Canopy gaps are dominated in
some areas by Devil's walking stick!

Tree Project http://www.pabigtrees.com
What literally covers the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania from A to Z? Trees! Trees of all kinds--from Ailanthus to Zelkova. Some of these trees, the largest of each species, are found here recorded on this website. In conjunction with the Pennsylvania Forestry Association, this information is provided by Scott Wade. Scott is currently the Pennsylvania state coordinator for American Forests, and the newly elected chairperson of the Pennsylvania Big Tree Committee. Using the last published record of champion trees from 1993, We have updated those trees that we have visited and remeasured. We have also "found" many new trees to add to the list. Many volunteers and organizations have helped in this project, but the more the merrier.
