Partnerships to boost health of Pennsylvania’s Allegheny National Forest streams

The U.S. Forest Service announced that a joint effort continues to improve the health of streams in the Allegheny National Forest.
The service is using what it calls “large wood additions” to improve stream health by directionally felling carefully selected trees into the streams to improve aquatic habitat and slow flood flows. Five miles of large wood additions have been added to Bear Creek in Elk County over the past two months.
