Description

Created in 2007, the Old Growth Forest Network works to identify and protect one forest in each county of the United States.As of the recording of this episode, the Old Growth Forest Network has worked with local, state and federal agencies to identify and protect 28 ancient forests in Pennsylvania with more on the way. They can be found in parks, forests, natural areas, wildlife preserves and nature reserves. While the Old Growth Forest Network is working hard to identify and protect more ancient forests – these remarkable places remain under threat. Private landowners and timber companies are in possession of more old growth forests than the public. Without conservation, their destruction is almost guaranteed. But with your help, the organization can save an old growth forest in all 67 Pennsylvania counties. Will you help?On this episode, I speak with Sarah Adloo and Brian Kane. Sarah is the executive director and Brian is the outreach coordinator & Mid-Atlantic regional manager for the Old Growth Forest Network.Be sure to visit my website to get to notified about upcoming episodes.
