“To the poor and oppressed who came from Europe the new land of America was blessed with wealth beyond belief: of rich soil, streams teeming with fish and forest with game, timber for their homes and fireplaces, iron for their forges and copper for their utensils. No wonder they risked their lives to journey to this Canaan; here was the Promised Land.”

The Allegheny Society of American Foresters website has gone through several revisions as we have learned more about the technology behind creating and maintaining an Internet presence. Much of the reason for this third major revision, is that that very technology has grown dramatically and this offers a much greater platform and set of tools to bring information and content to our members and the world.
I hope you, the members of the Allegheny, like to new format. As always, suggestions and constructive criticism is always welcomed.
