To learn how valuable an asset the Allegheny National Forest is to our region, the Allegheny Defense Project invites the public to a two-day camping outing June 23-24 in the Salmon Creek watershed. Not only will this be an opportunity to enjoy a Spring outing and learn of forest issues, but of special interest will be the newly discovered presence of the synchronous firefly species Photinus Carolinus that produces a spectacular evening light show. See here for location of the campsite. For more information, contact Cathy Pedler at cpedler [@] alleghenydefense.org and check the account of the 2011 outing.
