The PA state game land number 100 in Centre and Clearfield counties was decimated by gypsy moths (now called spongy moths) between 2006 and 2009. The Game Commission cut down dead trees, used herbicides, and did prescribed fire burns on 2000 acres. That was supposed to provide the conditions for a new forest.
Nothing grew above the ferns. There are small red maples, but nothing grows higher than knee high. The deer have eaten everything.
PA has too damn many deer, and if you are feeding them, you are a bad person.
Information for this post is from the Sept. 2023 issue of the Pennsylvania Game News. (I read everything.)
