Hydraulic Fracturing on Eastern National Forests: A Growing Threat

Event Summary

Those are the questions that Chris Johnson will address in an hour long presentation accompanied by a Power Point presentation that shows oil and natural-gas drilling and the environmental impact of those technologies on eastern national forests.

The presentation grows out of a new book that Chris co-authored: Forests for the People: The Story of America’s Eastern National Forests. He wrote it with David Govatski, a former forester who leads conservation initiatives in New Hampshire.

Forests for the People has an entire chapter on hydraulic fracturing in eastern national forests. The focus is on the Allegheny National Forest in Pennsylvania, where fracking has already started.

There is no charge for this event.
