Features
Allegheny Forest Health Collaborative

Given the continued expansion of significant, damaging invasive forest insects, diseases, plants and animals on the Allegheny National Forest, and the intermingled nature of forest land ownerships across that landscape, a collaborative approach to addressing forest health issues on the High Allegheny Unglaciated Plateau was initiated in 2018 and has been on-going since then.
Plant a Tree Program

The Plant-A-Tree Program provides a way for individuals and groups to have trees planted on a national forest to memorialize loved ones or commemorate births, or other special events.
