What is at risk? (the details)
The Martin Run Timber Sale is one of the most damaging proposals ever to come out of the US Forest Service offices in the Allegheny National Forest. This timber sale would allow more than 1,900 acres of primarily even-aged logging with major ramifications for wildlife habitat, watershed protection, and national treasures.
