DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES

Proposed Exchange of Property

[54 Pa.B. 6124]
[Saturday, September 28, 2024]

 The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (Department), acting through the Bureau of Forestry (Bureau), and Clermont Rod and Gun Club are proposing to negotiate an exchange of property interests in Elk State Forest, McKean County and Tioga State Forest, Tioga County.

 The proposed exchange involves the ownership of the Clermont Rod and Gun Club 10.01-acres tract of forested land in Tioga County that shares a boundary with the Tioga State Forest. The Clermont Rod and Gun Club is proposing to trade this l0.01-acres parcel for a 0.75-acre parcel beneath their cabin, entrance lane and infrastructure in the Elk State Forest. The 10.01 acres acquired will become part of the Tioga State Forest and its current management strategy. The 10.01-acres tract is forested with northern hardwood species and is contiguous with a northern hardwood stand in the Tioga State Forest. The tract is fairly level, has easy public access and will be an asset to both the recreation and silviculture programs. The acreage balance is strongly in favor of the Commonwealth and therefore makes this proposed transaction justified as equal or greater value for the Commonwealth. The proposed exchange will further consolidate public ownership of this forested landscape and is consistent with the Bureau's land acquisition goals.

 As is the policy of the Department, the public is hereby notified of this proposed exchange. A 30-day period for public inquiry or comment will be in effect beginning September 28, 2024, and ending October 27, 2024. Oral or written comments or questions concerning this proposed exchange may be addressed to Tom Stahl, Planning Section, Bureau of Forestry, P.O. Box 8552, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8552, thstahl@pa.gov, (717) 772-0268. Oral or written comments will become part of the official document used in the final decision process. Written documents are also available regarding the proposed land exchange by request.

 If, in the duration of the 30-day comment period, a significant amount of public concern develops, the Secretary of the Department may schedule a public informational meeting.

CINDY ADAMS DUNN, 
Secretary
