The Lumber Heritage Region (LHR) has led numerous projects to preserve, promote, and celebrate the rich history of Pennsylvania’s lumber industry. Through historical preservation, outdoor recreation enhancements, educational initiatives, and community development, LHR has helped strengthen connections to the region’s forestry heritage.
Past projects have included historic site restorations, interpretive signage installations, trail and park improvements, museum enhancements, and conservation efforts. These initiatives highlight the legacy of Pennsylvania’s logging history, ensuring that the stories of lumber camps, sawmills, river drives, and forest conservation continue to be shared with future generations.
In addition to physical projects, LHR has conducted important studies and planning efforts, such as the Lumber Heritage Region Diversity Study and the Cameron County Dark Sky Master Site Plan, which provide valuable insights into the industry’s past, present, and future. These efforts help guide heritage tourism, cultural preservation, and economic development throughout the region.
By investing in research, historical documentation, and sustainable forestry initiatives, LHR continues to make an impact across Pennsylvania. Explore how our past projects have shaped the Lumber Heritage Region and discover how we support history, conservation, and outdoor recreation for generations to come.
