Friend, tomorrow is the final deadline to defend protections for nearly 45 million acres of national forests, including the Tongass, America's largest old-growth rainforest.

Every dollar you give before midnight will be DOUBLED to protect these forests (up to $20,000), and every comment you submit adds pressure to stop this reckless rollback.

MATCH MY GIFT


The Trump administration has rushed the public comment process, limiting the time for Americans to weigh in. It is a deliberate tactic to silence opposition while opening the door to destructive logging and road-building. We must not let them succeed.


If we do not rise to meet this deadline, we could lose some of the very last undeveloped wildlands left in our country. While they are almost considered ‘backcountry’ by definition, these forests are closer to home than you think. Here are just a few of the places that could be impacted by revoking the Roadless Rule:
- Alaska's Tongass National Forest – 9 million acres of roadless ancient forest, vital salmon habitat, an enormous carbon store, and the largest national forest in the country.

- Appalachian National Scenic Trail – The trail crosses hundreds of thousands of acres of roadless lands; people hike, fish, climb, and connect with nature in these wild borderlands.

- Angeles National Forest (CA) - A popular destination for millions of Americans, this forest contributes drinking water to parts of Los Angeles.

- Pisgah National Forest (NC) - Known for its waterfalls and foliage, the Pisgah is one of the most prominent pieces of public lands in the eastern United States.

- Superior National Forest (MN) - Home to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, more than a million acres of wild land popular with hikers and campers.

- Ozarks National Forest (AR) - Famous for its caves and clear water rivers, it provides recreation for more than a million visitors each year.

- Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest (UT) - Covers hundreds of thousands of acres of the Wasatch Mountains.

These special places safeguard clean water, provide habitat for wildlife, and store carbon critical to fighting climate change.


They are part of our communities, our heritage, and our future. We cannot let industry win by running out the clock. Please, add your voice and give before midnight!
