The Forrest H. Dutlinger Natural Area is a protected area in Clinton County, Pennsylvania, United States.[1] The natural area measures a total of Шаблон:Convert, and includes a tract of old-growth forest measuring Шаблон:Convert.[2] The area is known for its very large trees.[3] The old-growth forest once lay on the boundary of two lumber companies, but was apparently spared because of a dispute over a surveying error.[1]

The Natural Area is named after Forrest H. Dutlinger, who was a Commonwealth forester from 1909 to 1959, beginning his career at a time of massive clear cutting of forests without any reforestation by the timber companies, along with rampant wildfires. Dutlinger became known for his efforts to revive the forests of the region, and he also attempted to ameliorate the spread of chestnut blight.[4]
