Lebo Red Pine Natural Area Explained

Lebo Red Pine Natural Area is a 124acres protected area in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is part of Tiadaghton State Forest.^{[1] [2]}

The Natural Area protects a copse of naturally occurring and unplanted red pine trees, which is relatively uncommon in Pennsylvania. These trees may have survived the Pennsylvania logging era of the late 1800s.^[3] The area is only accessible via unmarked paths from a nearby gravel road.
