    Galen Scheufler, a park ranger for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Pittsburgh District, holds a trunk sample from a fallen tree estimated to be 140 years old found on Youghiogheny River Lake property before a ceremony at Mill Run Recreation Area in Friendsville, Maryland, Dec. 3, 2024.

    Youghiogheny River Lake now has two forests registered into the Old-Growth Forest Network, which is a nationwide nonprofit with volunteers across the country who find the last remnants of old-growth forests in North America. The two newly-discovered forests are Klondike Ridge forest in Pennsylvania and the Mill Run forest in Maryland.

    Less than one percent of all forests east of the Mississippi River are considered old-growth, containing trees older than 70 or 80 years old.
