Today, Congressman Glenn "GT' Thompson's (PA-05) legislation, H.R. 2394, the National Forest Foundation Reauthorization Act of 2015, passed the House of Representatives by voice vote. This bipartisan bill will reauthorize the National Forest Foundation Act so the Foundation will have the resources it needs to protect and restore our 193-million-acre national forest system, including Pennsylvania's Allegheny National Forest.

"The National Forest Foundation, the USDA's official non-profit partner, seeks to bring local communities together to restore and enhance our national forests and grasslands," said Congressman Thompson. "Through leveraging public and private funds, the Foundation protects and keeps our national forests, like the Allegheny, thriving and viable for generations to come," added Thompson, Chairman of the House Agriculture Subcommittee on Conservation and Forestry.
