ADP joins Heartwood in Virgina
Members of the Allegheny Defense Project joined Heartwood for their annual Forest Council, this year in Virginia's beautiful George Washington National Forest.

Festivities included workshops on forest ecology, activism, air pollution, mountain-top removal coal mining and more. There were also many field trips including a canoe trip down the Shenandoah River, hikes up Massanutten Mountain and a visit to nearby Shenanhoah National Park.
Featured guests included author Richard Manning and Granny D., who at the age of 90 walked across America for campaign finance reform. Now, Granny D. is travelling across the country in this Winnebago getting women registered to vote.
The Ancient Forest Roadshow visited the Forest Council, displaying the destruction of Pacific Northwest Forests at the hands of the Forest Service. 88,000 acres of old-growth forests with trees like this 6 1/2 ft. diameter Douglas fir are threatened by logging. Visit the roadshow's website to learn more about how you can protect ancient forests!
Folks relaxed at night by the fire with music by Danny Dolinger and many other talented musicians and poets. Thanks to the restless Heartwood folks for all their efforts and to the sleepless cooks who made sure all were well-fed from dawn to dusk!
