Conservation Overview
Pennsylvania, which means "Penn's Woods," is aptly named. While it has changed a lot since being founded by William Penn more than 400 years ago, the Commonwealth is still 60-percent forested. Even so, Pennsylvania's special places are facing several significant challenges from sprawl, water contamination, and the growing effects of climate change.
