About ADP

Salmon Creek

The Allegheny Defense Project (ADP) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the protection and restoration of forest communities and diversification of the economies of the Allegheny bioregion.  ADP formed in 1994 in response to the large-scale clearcutting practices embraced by the U.S. Forest Service that threaten watersheds, biodiversity, and recreation opportunities.

As our organization has grown, we have found that in order to restore the ecological integrity of the Allegheny Bioregion, it is simply not enough to protect the Allegheny National Forest from logging. In response, we have shifted to a more bioregional approach to forest protection.  Through grassroots organizing, research, education, aerial and on-the-ground monitoring, ADP strives to protect our wild forests and rivers from commercial logging, oil and gas drilling, and other extractive industries threatening the Allegheny National Forest and other public lands.
