Felling of 120 acres of old-growth trees in Pocomoke State Forest proposed May 25, 2021 POCOMOKE STATE FOREST, Md. – The Maryland Department of Natural Resources is considering cutting down 436 acres of trees in the Pocomoke State Forest. This is a normal operation that they say helps preserve forest life. But the Old Growth Forest Network says the problem is that 120 of those acres are old-growth trees nearly 100 years old. Executive Director Joan Maloof says old-growth trees can often grow for hundreds of years, and help protect younger plants and the animals that live there. “As these trees grow, they compete with each other. The stronger ones win out and get larger, and the smaller ones stay in the understory. There are some species that just come into a forest that’s older because they prefer the shade than full sun,” said Maloof.
