The Bush Administration has made it a priority
to open up our national forests to wide-spread logging
and oil & gas drilling while rolling back protections
under the guise of “Healthy Forests”.
The Administration has focused on Pennsylvania’s
Allegheny National Forest as an Eastern “poster
child” in their propaganda efforts.
On Earth
Day 2004, President Bush sent Agriculture Secretary
Ann Veneman to the Allegheny National Forest
to tout destructive commercial logging practices. Calling
George Bush the “Conservationist in Chief”,
Ann Veneman gave a stump speech as part of an aggressive
effort to push a new 6,000-acre logging project without
a detailed environmental analysis or meaningful public
participation.
The Allegheny Defense Project is leading the fight
to defend American forests and freedoms in the Alleghenies.
