Pennsylvania's Hidden Gem: Exploring Allegheny National Forest

As I roamed through the lush green trees and crystal clear streams of Allegheny National Forest, I was struck by its beauty and harmonious ecosystem. The forest's history of oil drilling and timber harvesting is a stark contrast to the vibrant wildlife and peaceful surroundings I experienced. I learned about the endangered eastern massasauga rattlesnake and marveled at the towering trees that have stood for centuries. It's a place that highlights the importance of preserving and protecting our environment.
