Help Protect Our Nation’s Oldest Forests and Fight Climate
Change

Forests are our friends in fighting the climate crisis, but they
are threatened by ongoing logging. Tell the Forest Service to end
the cutting of old-growth trees and let mature trees grow in all
national forests.

Dear NRDC Activist,

The Klamath National Forest in California
… the Daniel Boone National Forest in Kentucky … the White
Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire.

These are just three of the countless
national forests that contain old-growth trees that are vital to
our fight against climate change – and all are on the chopping
block.

A new proposal from the U.S. Forest
Service could help save them – and we need you to make sure they
finalize the strongest possible plan.

Will you make your voice heard to save
our oldest forests before it’s too late?

Tell the U.S. Forest Service: Protect
America’s old-growth and mature trees from destruction! ( [link removed] )

The Biden administration released an
executive order two years ago recognizing the importance of
old-growth and mature trees in the fight against climate change
and directing the U.S. Forest Service to take steps to protect
our oldest forests.

The Forest Service’s new proposal is a
critical step forward – but it’s not enough to protect these
vital trees from the worsening impacts of the climate crisis.

They’re now accepting public comments on
the proposed plan, but only until September 20.

Please submit a comment urging the Forest
Service to strengthen their plan to protect our nation’s oldest
forests. ( [link removed] )

Under the Forest Service’s current
proposal, our climate-critical old-growth and mature trees could
still be sent to the mill. When these trees are cut down and
processed, much of their stored carbon is rapidly released.

It can take decades or even centuries to
return to the scale of carbon capture provided by our oldest
forests. The climate crisis is upon us now as we experience
record-shattering heat and widespread climate disasters – we
don’t have time to regrow these forests.

That’s why we’re asking the Forest
Service for a strong policy that fulfills the promise of the
Biden administration’s executive order by: stopping old-growth
trees from being cut down and sent to the mill and setting the
stage for durable protections for mature trees so they can become
our next generation of old-growth trees.

Last year, thousands of NRDC activists
like you made your voices heard in support of protecting
old-growth and mature trees – and the Forest Service heeded them
by issuing this proposed plan. Now, we need you to speak up once
again for forest survival.

Please, do your part to help our national
forests stand. Send your public comment NOW. ( [link removed] )

Sincerely,

Garett Rose
