Dotyville Hill Forest

Dotyville Hill Forest includes significant frontage along Caldwell Creek’s public-access fly-fishing corridor, and is a part of the Foundation’s  Caldwell Creek Watershed Conservation Project , which began with 60 acres in 2012 and has grown to over 1200 acres today. 

These acres are comprised of four adjacent parcels, one purchased from private ownership and three donated by FSF’s Founder and President, Troy Firth, whose generosity provided the in-kind matching donation needed to receive a $430,000 grant from the PA DCNR Community Conservation Partnerships Program via the Keystone Fund. Additional support was received from the John Nesbit Rees and Sarah Henne Rees Foundation of Titusville, Trout Unlimited’s Caldwell Creek and Northwest PA Chapters, and James & Vicki Stec of Pittsfield.

Year Acquired: 2021

Size: 528 acres

Location: Southwest Twp., Warren County, PA

Public Access: Yes, open to non-destructive public access. Parking area is located on Dotyville Hill Road just east of the bridge over Caldwell Creek.

Public Hunting and Fishing: Yes

Note: Part of this property uphill from Caldwell Creek and along Dotyville Hill Rd. was donated to FSF as land without timber rights. This means that the land can be enjoyed for recreational purposes by the public, but the management of the timber is not under our ownership or control until the year 2060. At that time, the timber rights will transfer to FSF's ownership, and our ecological forestry activities will begin.
