Pennsylvania Statutes Title 32 P.S. Forests, Waters and State Parks § 62. Proceedings to classify

When any owner of surface land desires to have such land placed in the class established by section one of this act,  1 such owner shall notify the State Forestry Reservation Commission  2 of his desire in manner and form to be prescribed by said commission. Said notice shall contain a description of the land, its location, boundary, area, and character, and shall state as far as practicable the species, character, and condition of the trees growing thereon, and whether they are of natural reproduction or are from seed sown for the purpose, or have been set out on said land, or all combined, and such other information as the commission may require. If, upon receipt and consideration of this notice, the commission shall, in its discretion, deem the conditions such as to warrant action on its part to determine whether such land should rightfully be placed in the class established by section one of this act, it shall cause the same to be examined by some person learned in the practice and principles of forestry, and a report made thereon, and if, upon receipt and consideration of such report, it decides that such land should be placed in the class established by section one of this act, it shall so declare and certify to the commissioners of the county in which said land is located.
