PA72 is located on
the grounds of the Grey Towers in Milford, Pennsylvania. Grey Towers
was the home of Gillford Pinchot, America's first forester and founder of
the USDA Forest Service (USFS). It is now a National Historic
Landmark, and serves as a conference center and base of operations for the
Pinchot Institute for Conservation, personally dedicated for the study of
land and its uses by President John F. Kennedy in 1963. Grey Towers
was donated to the USFS in 1963 by Gifford Pinchot's son, Dr. Gifford
Bryce Pinchot. Nestled among the Pocono Mountains of northeastern
Pennsylvania, the estates overlooks the Delaware River Valley.
The
site began collecting NTN samples on December 27, 1983, and is sponsored
and operated by the USFS.

Network (MDN) site that is funded by the Pennsylvania Department of
Environmental Protection.
