HIKE: From Magnificence to MisManagement and Back Again!
Hike: From Magnificence to Mismanagement and Back Again
June 24 - Allegheny National Forest
Join the Allegheny Defense Project on Saturday, June 24, for an exploration of the wild Allegheny Forests - and the abuse of America's most endangered national forest! Explore the proposed Chappel Fork Wilderness, walk the encroaching oil & gas development, see what clearcutting does to the native forest types, hike a proposed ATV trail, and visit the proposed Sugar Run Wilderness.
This fun (at times depressing), educational hike will occur rain or shine. Pack your own lunch and snacks and bring plenty of water, rain gear, and hiking boots! This is an all day event, so come prepared.
