PennFuture's law staff provides low-cost legal services to citizens, fishing and hunting groups and conservation organizations throughout Pennsylvania so they can have a voice in decisions that impact their health and welfare and the environment. The law staff offers a wide range of services to its members and clients, including counseling, advocacy before state agencies and representation in litigation to protect the public's right to a clean, healthy environment.
In many situations, PennFuture's law staff serves as a watchdog over regulatory agencies, filing comments and action letters to guarantee that Pennsylvania's environment and economy are protected to the fullest extent of the law. Please see our legal Comments and Action Letters page (link on the right side of this page) for a compilation of those activities.
In other cases, we file court actions to force legal compliance from polluters. Please see our Current Cases page for a list of all court cases we are currently undertaking.
Past and present clients have included the Pennsylvania Chapter of Trout Unlimited, the Pennsylvania Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs, Inc., the National Audubon Society, the Pennsylvania Chapter of the Sierra Club, numerous watershed associations and citizen action groups. If you have an environmental legal problem you would like PennFuture to consider, please contact our law staff at any of our offices or send an e-mail to lawstaff@pennfuture.org.
