Support Wilderness in the Allegheny!
Pennsylvania’s Allegheny National Forest is a rare wild treasure in the East. Wild turkey, white-tailed deer, black bear and more than 300 other wildlife species call the forest home, and more than half the visitors to the forest list wildlife watching, hiking, or viewing natural scenery as the activities that draw them to the Allegheny. However, the Forest Service has failed to protect many of the forest’s unique and wild places in its draft management plan for the Allegheny. Help protect this scenic national forest by telling the Forest Service to expand their wilderness recommendations for the Allegheny.
