John,

This is it! The final day of our Earth Day 2025 Drive, and we're so close to meeting our goal to help save our last mature and old-growth forests.

Hundreds of people have donated to the campaign so far. Some have given just $5 or $10, while others have contributed $500 or more.

According to our records, you haven't yet chipped in.

Please donate to our Earth Day 2025 Drive to help save our last mature and old-growth forests. All Earth Day donations up to $50,000 nationwide will be matched by our generous donors.

Let's be honest: We have a lot of work to do right now in order to protect the environment and defend our last wild forests.

Consider: In the time it takes you to read this email, the North American boreal forest will lose three football fields' worth of trees, some of it to be turned into toilet paper.1

In addition, the U.S. House of Representatives recently passed a bill that would fast-track countless reckless logging projects on public lands.2

Meanwhile, the federal government plans to open up more than half of our national forests -- 112 million acres -- to increased timber production.3

And the logging industry has filed a lawsuit aimed at opening up protected areas of Alaska's Tongass National Forest -- they specifically want to cut down old-growth trees.4

It's an assault on our forests on all fronts, but Environment Colorado is up to the task. We've been defending forests from logging for decades and we're not stopping now.

Donate now and your gift for the trees will be matched, dollar for dollar.

Every section of mature or old-growth forest that is logged or has a road built through it will take decades or even centuries to recover.

But every old tree we can save from the chopping block is precious, and we won't give up.

That's why this Earth Day, we're building a movement of guardians for the forests.

Don't miss your chance to have your Earth Day gift matched, up to $50,000 nationwide. Donate right now and become a guardian for our oldest forests.

Thank you,

Ellen Montgomery
