Northwest Pennsylvania

The Quiet Northwest

Northwest Pennsylvania has been called "The Quiet Northwest," a tranquil region of forests and farmland, lakes and streams. Our nature tourism Web site will enable you to learn about the area's outdoor resources. Educational and environmental aspects related to outdoor recreation are featured, and links between the environment and the people of the area are illustrated.

Nature Tourism?

Often called ecotourism, nature tourism is defined as "tourism to natural areas that promotes understanding of the environment, appreciation and conservation of the culture and lifestyle of the local population" (Young, 1992).
