Welcome
Allegheny National Forest
Allegheny hardwood stands represent the most valuable and widespread timber on the Forest. This type includes black cherry, yellow poplar, white ash, red maple and sugar maple. The exceptional quality of the black cherry found here makes it highly valued throughout the world for fine furniture and veneers. Millions of board feet of timber are harvested from the Allegheny National Forest annually. Approximately one-half of this volume is used for pulpwood.

Allegheny National Forest Recreation Facilities Analysis
Recreation Facility Analysis is a process of national scope with local forest emphasis. Each national forest is using this process to develop a 5-year proposed "Program of Work" to better manage and improve the quality of recreation sites. All forests are scheduled to complete this initial phase of the Recreation Facility Analysis process by the end of 2008.
