Tryon-Weber Woods

Tryon-Weber Woods is a 108-acre preserve owned by Western Pennsylvania Conservancy. A 1.2-mile loop trail crosses a stream, traverses a 40-acre old-growth beech-maple forest (with some trees > 120 yrs. old), and passes several deer exclosures used as part of ongoing research. The preserve is named for the late Dr. C. A. Tryon (University of Pittsburgh Pymatuning Laboratory of Ecology), who studied the ecological interrelationships of the forest, and Dr. Robert G. Weber, who previously owned part of the property. The old-growth area is considered a remnant “climax” forest.
