Support the Call for Allegheny Wilderness!

This is a critical moment for the long-term future of the Allegheny National Forest. The US Forest Service is hosting a forest plan revision meeting on June 5th to accept public comment on long-term management of the Allegheny National Forest.

Help demand:

- More Wilderness, Natural, & Scenic Areas

- More hiking, bicycle, and horse trails

- An end to commercial logging

- A phase out of oil & gas drilling

- A moratorium on off-road vehicle trails

Join the Allegheny Defense and ask the Forest Service to adopt our Allegheny Wild! Alternative. This is the last chance to influence the range of alternatives considered in the Forest Plan Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).

The public meeting includes visits to parts of the forest so come dressed for all weather conditions. Click Here for Directions.
