Help Protect Allegheny Nat'l Forest

“the allegheny nat'l forest suffers from excessive logging and thousands of oil wells, it is one of the most heavily logged and drilled forests in the nation.
the forest is covered with thousands of miles of access roads. only 2% of the forest is designated as wilderness.

the forest service will be reviewing its forest plan, hopefully more wilderness will be created.

this beautiful place needs greater protection, please support the allegheny defense fund.

“Yikes is right!”

“the forest is home to a stretch of the north country trail, beautiful minister creek, the clarion and allegheny nat'l scenic rivers, hickory creek wilderness.

the forest service's stewardship of this forest has been depressing.”

“I like backpacking there alot and I am going to do something.
