100 Years of Recovery and Growth!


September 24, 2023, marked 100 years since our establishment as a national forest.

About the Allegheny

Welcome to the Allegheny National Forest

Situated on the Allegheny Plateau, the forest is comprised of 514,029 acres in the northwestern corner of the state.

The U.S. Forest Service brought new concepts in forest management to the Allegheny Plateau - benefits, sustainability, and collaborative partnerships. The slogan “Land of Many Uses” captures our vision of a healthy, vigorous, working forest that provides timber and wood products, watershed protection, access to underground minerals, ties to cultural history, a diversity of wildlife habitats, and outstanding outdoor recreation opportunities - not only today but in a sustainable way so future generations can enjoy these benefits.

Orders of the Forest Supervisor

As a visitor to the National Forest, you are asked to follow certain rules designed to protect the Forest and provide public safety for visitors.
