Facts and practical information
Marion Brooks Natural Area is a state forest natural area in Moshannon State Forest in Benezette Township, Elk County in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. The 917-acre natural area is on the northwest edge of Quehanna Wild Area. It was originally known as Paige Run Natural Area; in 1975 it was renamed in honor of Marion E. Brooks, a local environmentalist. The area was set aside to protect one of the largest known stands of white birch trees in the eastern United States; in this region the tree is fairly close to the southern limit of its native range.
