Here is a Pennsylvania Forestry Sign from the Pennsylvania Department of Forestry headquartered in Harrisburg, PA. This Pennsylvania Forestry Sign dates from the 1930s era and is in excellent condition considering how old it is. This sign was made by the Adamant Steel Sign Company located in Syracuse, NY; it measures approximately 4.5″ wide and is made of embossed metal.
The graphics on this badge sign depicts the Pennsylvania Keystone with a White Oak leaf in the center. Pennsylvania has a strong cultural and historical connection to the oak. The White Oak (Quercus alba) was once the dominant tree of Pennsylvania’s primal forests, covering an estimated 65% of the state’s forest cover prior to European settlement.
