John,
More than 240,000 acres of mature and old-growth forests on federal public lands are on the chopping block right now.[1]
We're talking about unique and irreplaceable ecosystems full of majestic, 100-year-old trees in the Black Hills of South Dakota, Green Mountains of Vermont, Alaska's Tongass National Forest, on the doorstep of Yellowstone National Park, and so many more critical forests.
We can't let logging destroy our oldest forests.
That's why generous donors will match donations up to $25,000 nationwide, from now until midnight on June 30. Will you donate today to double your impact for America's threatened forests?

Along with our national network, Environment Colorado is working to stop a series of proposed logging projects in some of the most important mature and old-growth forests in the country.
[]
These logging projects will cause irreversible damage to old-growth and mature forests, and we're rallying support to stop them.
If we halt these logging projects, we're not only saving the trees. We'd be saving countless species that live in the woods. We'd be preserving a natural solution to climate change that traps carbon dioxide in tree trunks, roots and branches. And we'd be keeping more nature intact, healthy and whole.
We can do it, but we need your help.
Donate today and your gift will be matched, dollar-for-dollar, up to $25,000 nationwide.

We have an incredible opportunity to halt these incredibly destructive projects -- while putting policies in place to keep mature and old-growth forests standing for generations. The U.S. Forest Service is accepting public comments right now on the fate of our oldest forests, and we're generating as many comments as possible over the next few months.
If we can build a groundswell of public engagement, we're optimistic that the U.S. Forest Service will protect our most valuable old-growth forests.[2]
But the logging industry is lobbying hard to delay, weaken or block these protections entirely. U.S. Senators Manchin (W. Va.) and Barrasso (Wyo.) have even introduced legislation that would require logging our mature trees.[3]
That's why it's so vital that we have the funding to keep mobilizing the grassroots support we need to save these trees. And as a grassroots organization, we rely on individual donations from supporters like you to power everything we do.
Will you make a donation to help protect our forests from logging? All donations today and tomorrow are MATCHED, up to $25,000 nationwide.
