Anonymous,

Lush trees and icy mountains rise along miles of shoreline, where wolves and bears roam beneath dripping lichen, and ravens and thrushes sing through the mist.

We can't let this peaceful wilderness be destroyed by logging.

The Trump administration wants to wipe out protections for wild areas in the Tongass National Forest, threatening its thousand-year-old trees and unique biodiversity with logging.

We're working to stop it. Will you donate today to help us defend the Tongass from logging, and to keep all of our important environmental campaigns going?

We've set a goal of raising $50,000 before our fiscal year ends on June 30 so that we can go into the year ahead with the resources we need to stand up for the Tongass, and to defend Colorado's air, water and special places. Will you donate today?

The Tongass National Forest is home to a breathtaking array of creatures. The world's largest population of black bears roams its green undergrowth, and the largest concentration of nesting bald eagles circle its rocky coastline.1,2 The Tongass is also home to one of the world's rarest wolf subspecies, the sleek, black Alexander Archipelago wolf.3

We've submitted thousands of comments to the U.S. Forest Service to protect the Tongass, we're advocating for key conservation legislation -- and if necessary, we're prepared to take the Trump administration to court. But we need your help to keep going.

Will you make a donation today to help defend our special places and be part of all of our work toward a healthier, more sustainable future?

Thank you for all that you do,

Hannah Collazo
State Director

P.S. Our work to defend the environment can't stop and won't stop in the face of the coronavirus pandemic. We'll keep advocating on your behalf -- at a safe social distance -- for clean air, clean water, clean energy, wildlife and open spaces, and a livable climate.
