The Fight Over Chestnut Ridge

Chestnut Ridge on the Allegheny National Forest is one of 10 wilderness area in the country identified as a significant natural treasure in jeopardy. Penn State Behrend professor Roger Knacke says future oil and gas developments on Chestnut Ridge could destroy the natural integrity of the area. He says he hopes the gas and oil companies and preservationists can work something out so the wilderness is preserved but the companies still have places to drill. The full report – "Wild … for How Long?" – is available at leaveitwild.org.
