John,

A new proposal could expand logging to 800,000 acres of our forests.

From Oregon's Willamette National Forest to California's Klamath National Forest, our mature and old-growth forests have stood tall for decades. But this plan could double or even triple the amount of logging in these forests.1

Add your name: Our oldest forests shouldn't be opened to more logging.

The fate of some of our oldest forests hangs in the balance, and we have less than a month to keep these trees off the chopping block.

The Forest Service is proposing an amendment to the Northwest Forest Plan -- but instead of expanding protections for our oldest trees, their plan would gut protections and hand hundreds of thousands of acres over to the logging industry.

We only have until March 17 to weigh in on the plan. Defend our oldest forests and oppose this pro-logging plan for our forests.

The Willamette National Forest is a magical old-growth forest with western red cedar trees and moss-covered Douglas firs growing 200 feet tall. It's one of the 17 national forests in the Pacific Northwest that could be opened up to more logging.

Our oldest forests should be left standing.

If enough of us speak out, we can save our most special forests and the animals that depend on them.

Add your voice: Our forests should be protected, not cut down.

Thanks for defending our forests,

Lisa Frank
Executive Director
