Pennsylvania’s portion of the Appalachian Trail is one of the state’s most important historic, recreational and natural resources. Unfortunately, the Commonwealth’s section of the Trail is being endangered by encroaching development and other threats.

Last year, Pennsylvania Appalachian Trail Act passed through the state House with bipartisan support that will help preserve our portion of the Appalachian Trail from destructive activities (HB1281). Now we need the state senate to approve this legislation to guarantee that we can protect Pennsylvania’s section of the Appalachian Trail.

Please send an e-mail to your state senator and ask them to support HB1281 today.
