The Clarence Moore lands, 25,000 acres of exquisite natural beauty within the Loyalsock State Forest, offer recreation and respite to those who visit. Here one can hike through tranquil forests on the Old Loggers Path and cool off aside the crystalline waters of Rock Run. Like many of Pennsylvania’s public lands, this area is treasured by those who visit its streams and forests. But unlike the state parks and forests thankfully protected from natural gas development by Governor Wolf’s Executive Order 2015-03, the Clarence Moore lands remain at risk.
Since 2012 the Save the Loyalsock Coalition, an organization of conservation and outdoor enthusiasts representing over 100,000 citizens, has labored to prevent natural gas development in this forest. Recently, the Coalition sent a letter to Governor Wolf reminding him of the keen public interest in the Clarence Moore lands and of the state’s ability to protect this vulnerable area.
Governor Wolf previously indicated his willingness to explore legal options available to prevent drilling in this pristine forest. Now you can help protect this Pennsylvania treasure by signing this petition to Governor Wolf. We will deliver your signature along with the many other thousands who say, “No drilling in the Clarence Moore lands!
Governor Wolf: Protect the Clarence Moore lands from natural gas drilling!
The Loyalsock State Forest is a natural treasure that belongs to the people of Pennsylvania. I urge you to exercise your full legal authority to protect and conserve this area for public enjoyment now and for our future generations.
