California communities have been devastated by increasingly severe wildfires in recent years – and our state’s precious sequoias are suffering irreparable damage as well.
Decades of poor forest management and climate change have made this once-fire-resilient species vulnerable to complete elimination without swift intervention.
That’s why Scott has re-introduced the Save Our Sequoias Act to protect California’s iconic tree before it’s too late.
We need to hear from our strongest supporters on Scott’s latest climate action: Do you stand with Scott behind this action to protect these towering trees?
For generations, the giant sequoia has been an iconic species that has provided immense cultural, environmental, and recreational benefits.
Not only have warming temperatures and drought caused by climate change created an environment that is killing sequoias at an alarming rate, but the resultant wildfires also create pollution that causes impact comparable to the entire energy sector in California – a troubling cycle that must be stopped.
The Save Our Sequoias Act will enhance collaboration of land management between federal and local governments, fund comprehensive sequoia restoration projects, strengthen emergency procedures, and more.
Scott is joining with his colleagues in Congress to combat climate change and ensure the giant sequoias stand safely in their natural habitat for years to come – but we need to know you stand with this bold action.
Are you with us in this fight to preserve California’s iconic sequoias?
