The region was once a hub for anthracite mining and the area's timber resources were heavily depleted to support the industry. The author presents an assessment of the current state of the forests, their timber, and their environmental impact. They find that despite their depleted state, the forests still contribute to the region's economy and ecology. The author posits that the forests could contribute even more if they were better managed. The author suggests a program of forest restoration that would increase the yield of forest products, create jobs, and improve the quality of the environment. This book will be of interest to anyone concerned with the sustainable management of natural resources and the history of the anthracite industry in Pennsylvania.
