Hi John,

It looks like we haven't received your Giving Tuesday gift yet. Take a look:

Today only, you can double your impact for our forests. Generous donors will match Giving Tuesday donations to Environment Colorado, up to $50,000 nationwide. Will you make a donation before midnight tonight?

This past year has put our forests through the wringer. Trees across millions of acres are in danger of being chopped down.

But along with forest guardians like you, we can defend the trees. Here are a few things we're doing to save our forests:

• Protect wild forests like the Santa Fe National Forest: 45 million acres of wild forest could be torn down.1 We're calling on the Forest Service to stop its plans to open these forests to logging and mining. Match my gift >>

• Stop anti-forest bills in Congress: We're urging key members of Congress to oppose bills that would open our forests up to unchecked logging, such as the deceptively-named Fix Our Forests Act. Match my gift >>

• Defend the boreal forest: We're losing 1 million acres of the boreal forest every year, in part for lumber and slightly softer toilet paper.2 We're asking Home Depot, Costco, Ace Hardware and more to commit to not source wood products from critical boreal habitat. Match my gift >>

When you donate this Giving Tuesday, you become a forest defender. A gift to Environment Colorado is an easy way to stand up for towering trees and protect wildlife.

Become a forest defender. Donate before midnight and your Giving Tuesday gift will be matched, up to $50,000 nationwide.

Thank you,

Ellen Montgomery

P.S. If you have already made a donation this Giving Tuesday, thank you so much for defending the trees! We may still be processing your gift.

Your donation will be used to support all of our campaigns to protect the environment, from saving the bees and protecting public lands, to standing up for clean water and fighting climate change. None of our work would be possible without supporters like you. Environment Colorado may transfer up to $50 per dues-paying member per year into the Environment Colorado Small Donor Committee.
