Nestled in Western Adams County is a tree farm that once belonged to paper manufacturer Glatfelter, a staple industry in South Central Pennsylvania. The tree farm, called Glatfelter Tree Farm No. 1, was purchased by The Conservation Fund in March of this year and has since received $4 million from the state of Pennylvania for conservation efforts. We’re talking about nearly 2,600 acres.
While the Glatfelter Tree Farm No. 1 is not currently open to the public, we’re hopeful that it will become an area attraction at some point in the future. That will just give one more reason for Gettysburg tourists to visit the area and one more reason to stick around one day longer.
