The Nature Conservancy of New York

A Big Tent Rises in the Allegheny

•  The Allegheny Basin, on the westernmost edge of New York, has over 500,000 acres of relatively contiguous forest cover, including 8,000 acres of old-growth forest.  In April 2006, over 100 scientists, government partners, and Nature Conservancy staff attended the first ever Allegheny Biodiversity Symposium, which showcased the latest research on the expansive biodiversity found in the region.  

•  The Allegheny Basin is home to many threatened or endangered species, including the giant Hellbender Salamander (below) and several species of darter (fish), black bear, and many migratory songbirds.
