Before the #ClearCuts of the #Monongahela #NationalForest. This #ClimateForest was #WorthMoreStanding

Went to D.C. and got good response from Senators to community request that F.S. stop #clearcutting the steepest slopes. Below is a local F.S. clearcut on >50% slope, which is contrary to the #Monongahela #Forest Plan. Can't see how this helps with #flooding #WorthMoreStanding

TIFO (Figured Out) that when my 3rd great grandparents left Somerset #Pennsylvania and moved to southern #Illinois in 1836, a brother and sister of that grandmother accompanied them, along with their families.
Wondering about the route...
Did they make the trek overland, or catch a boat on the #Monongahela or #Ohio River and ride it down?

The Forest Service is close to a decision on the #UpperCheatRiver Project of the #Monongahela #NationalForest to #clearcut 3,500 acres of our oldest trees on steep slopes to create "Early Successional" habitat. The cut includes oaks and sugar maples more than 200 years old.

Apparently, today was #bridgesOfMastadon day, so I thought Iβd share a different set of #bridges than I normally do. A #magical day atop #mtWashington in #pittsburgh #pgh looking down at all the bridges across the #Allegheny and #Monongahela rivers #photography #shotoniphone #rainbow

Here's a small stream, Hile Run, in the #Monongahela #NationalForest. Flows down and through our farm. Great place for swimming and brook trout fishing. Surrounded by mature #ClimateForests and #OldGrowth
