Sign The Wilderness Society Action Fund's petition to help protect old-growth forests

Dear Jack,

 

Old-growth forests are vanishing. Decades of mismanagement and irresponsible commercial logging compounded by extreme climate change-driven wildfires have decimated these ecologically vital places—and the threats are only growing.

The Forest Service is developing a new national policy to conserve and restore old-growth forests. But while it’s a step in the right direction, the current draft is not nearly strong enough to make a meaningful impact.

Sign The Wilderness Society Action Fund's petition and tell the Forest Service to strengthen its efforts to conserve and restore old-growth forests

The current draft policy doesn’t do enough to prevent the deterioration of our remaining old-growth forests. The final amendment needs to not only safeguard our oldest trees, but also include a process for stewarding the old-growth forests of the future.

The current threats to old-growth forests are too large and the problem too severe for the Forest Service to continue with business as usual. We need to stand together to save these forests before it’s too late!

Tell the Forest Service to strengthen protections for old-growth forests

Thank you for your advocacy and support,
