Friend — the Biden administration is considering new protections for mature and old-growth forests, which store more carbon and nitrogen than any other class of forest. There’s still time to weigh in on this important issue before the July 20 comment deadline. Don’t miss this chance to voice your support for old-growth forests and a healthy climate.



Mature and old-growth forests store large amounts of carbon, provide clean drinking water for communities, and serve as essential habitat for many at-risk species. We are out of time to address the climate crisis, which is why we are counting on the Biden administration to move forward swiftly with a rule to safeguard these forests from logging and other threats.

It’s critical that the environmental movement makes ourselves heard, Friend. These forests have long been at risk from disturbances like fires, tornadoes, and invasive insects, as well as from development and logging.

We need everyone who cares about our environment, healthy communities, and a sustainable climate to weigh in today. Add your name to urge stronger protections for mature and old-growth forests. It only takes a moment to help reach our 5,000 signature goal.

We finally have the opportunity to protect climate-healing mature and old-growth forests from destruction, but we could miss our chance if you don’t weigh in right now.

Corporate polluters in the logging and fossil fuel industries are lobbying hard to defeat any new protections. Without the voices of the environmental movement — people like you and me — this debate could be drowned out by corporate interests.

Please, add your name right now. This is a critical opportunity to prioritize conservation of our nation’s public lands, while ensuring healthy communities and a healthy climate.

Thank you for making your voice heard, Friend.

Onward,
