What You Can Do

Steps you can take to help our National Forests:

·         Call (or write) your Members of Congress and tell them you support protecting our public lands from logging, and oppose any misguided legislation that would weaken environmental safeguards, expand the logging of our National Forests, or cut the American people out of the decision-making or review process.

• Write a letter to the editor. It doesn't have to be long or flowery, it just has to say honestly what you feel and keep the American people thinking about the issue. If the American people fail to know or cease to care, all of our public lands could wind up on the block.
