Michaux State Forest consists of approximately 86,000 acres of Commonwealth lands in the South Mountain region of south-central Pennsylvania. It holds a special and distinctive history as the "cradle of forestry" or the "crucible of conservation" within the state because of the Father of Pennsylvania Forestry, Joseph T. Rothrock's imprint on the area in establishment of the first School of Forestry in Pennsylvania in Mount Alto and the first forest tree nursery as well as many other first achievements in the region for forestry and conservation in the Commonwealth.
