John,

This terrible forest bill has already passed the U.S. House of Representatives. It could clear the way for more clear-cutting and reckless logging.1

We have to stop this bill before our forests start falling like dominoes, one by one. To do that, we can't let it get through the U.S. Senate.

To save our forests, our senators need to hear from you. Take action now.

The "Fix Our Forests Act" is the latest attempt to take away protections for our forests and accelerate reckless logging projects. And once again, it's cleverly disguised as a way to help our forests.

Let's be clear: Logging won't "fix" our forests.

What logging will do is rip down trees that have been digging their roots into the soil for hundreds of years.

What logging will do is destroy the homes of songbirds and owls and endangered animals.

What logging will do is make ecosystems more vulnerable to wildfires, flooding, erosion and other disasters.2

Don't let our trees die. Say no to this anti-forests bill.

If this bill becomes law, our resilient trees could be mowed down and chopped up.

Environment Colorado is lobbying key senators to keep this bill from passing, but we need your help to show that the public is with us.

Tell our U.S. senators to oppose this attempt to increase logging in our forests.

Thank you for all that you do,

Ellen Montgomery
