Abstract
The 834,000-acre Wayne National Forest, Ohio's only national forest, lies in the rolling foothills of the Appalachians in the state's southeast. Congress established the forest boundary in 1934 to prioritize land acquisition and ownership of forest lands in need of restoration. The forest is composed of both central hardwoods, primarily oak and hickory, and softwoods, including native pine and hemlock.
