They actually backed off and the drilling permits are officially canceled so Rock Run is safe for now. I am honestly shaking because I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop but it really looks like we saved it. Keep walking those trails and keep your eyes peeled because …

Preserve the beauty of some of Pennsylvania's most pristine areas - put a halt to the destruction of Old Logger's Path!  A get-away in the woods known to locals and tourists alike, is now being threatened by our insatiable greed for fuel. If the drilling planned for this area is allowed to continue, an area once renowned for its isolation and tranquility will become a man-made wasteland. 


Not only could the fracking of Old Logger's Path and the surrounding areas make the trail nearly unexplorable, but the flowing waters of Rock Run, located just outside the trail, will likely become too toxic for any sort of life. Swimming, exploring, learning and escaping will no longer be an option for those who admire this land. Human, plant and animal life will all suffer from this decimation.  Once this area is destroyed, the chances of it ever being returned to it's natural glory are grim.

It is up to us to decide what sort of world the next generation will live in.  Our children, and our children's children should not have to hear stories of what a beautiful planet we once inhabited. They should not have to wonder what clean, natural environments really look like. Wild areas and the safety that they offer is more valuable than oil will ever be. Keep the planet we were given safe, make your voice heard and stop the toxic development of our last remaining natural havens!

I checked the count and we are just hovering right under that hundred signature mark which is honestly maddening because Rock Run doesn't have time for us to stall out. If you have anyone in your contacts who likes hiking or just hates the idea of turning pristine forests into industrial junk sites now is the absolute time to send the link their way so we can finally break through this hurdle.

This is just greedy. We need to save what little nature we have left in PA. Protect the trail.

so sad to see what they have planned for this area. i grew up going to these woods and it would be a tragedy to turn it into a dump for gas wells.

NO WAY. Keep the bulldozers out of Rock Run. Enough is enough.

My family has hiked this trail for years. You cant just destroy land like this for a quick buck. Leave it alone.

Rock Run is a beautiful place for swimming. Totally heartbroken that they would even think about putting frack pads there. STOP THE DRILLING.
