Friend of Trust for Public Land,
Our national and private forests are home to tremendous biological
diversity and provide important value to communities across the
country. Not only do they collect and filter our drinking water, clean
the air we breathe, and provide habitat for wildlife, they also
generate jobs and provide special areas for recreation.
Despite the importance and popularity of our forests, they face
unprecedented threats: real estate development, unsustainable timber
harvesting, and-worst of all-severe climate change-driven
megafires. These supersized fires, which burn more than 100,000 acres
at a time, were once very rare but now occur every single year.
We cannot stand by and watch as our forests are destroyed acre by
acre. Take action now and demand that Congress protect our local
forests today!

Congress is considering increasing support for the Community Forest
and Open Space Conservation Program, which provides grants to local
governments, tribal entities, and nonprofit organizations to create
community forests. These forests are locally owned and managed by
communities for communities. They encourage economic development and
sustainable forest management while protecting water quality, wildlife
habitat, and enhancing recreational opportunities.
Since 2001, we've helped create more than 30 community forests
across the country, covering more than 30,000 acres. But the work to
protect our nation's forests is far from over. Help us protect
more of America's forests by taking action today.
