Illegal dumping happens quickly, usually in less than a minute.
A vehicle stops, a door opens, a bag of household trash is dropped beside a road, a pair of tires is abandoned on a vacant lot, an old toilet is left in the woods.
It s a costly problem all across Pennsylvania. Every county has illegal dumping of some sort, said Rob Dubas, program coordinator for Illegal Dump Free PA, a program of Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful.
In 2020, KPB received reports of 210 illegal dumps in Pennsylvania, an increase of 213% over the 67 reported in 2019, according to A Summary of Illegal Dump Reporting to Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful. That 2020 report identified illegal dumpsites in 50 of the state s 67 counties, up from 26 counties in 2019. Nineteen of the sites were located on state park, forest or game lands.

As sunlight sifted through the treetops onto the forest floor, a dozen hikers stopped to look up at the yellow-bellied sapsuckers courting above.
This stretch of land in the George Washington National Forest in Amherst County is slated to be slashed to the ground, taking countless life forms above and below the soil for a relatively small amount of timber on this particular mountaintop.
The U.S. Forest Service says the logging will provide early successional forest, which includes herbs, shrubs and small trees as the forest regenerates after cutting. Several species rely on this type of forest for their food and habitat.
