Forests older than the United States could be on the chopping block, John.

We're gearing up to defend these centuries-old trees -- but it looks like we haven't received your End of Year Drive donation yet. Are you with us?

Be a guardian for our forests: Make your matched donation now.

America's forests are in serious danger.

Some of these trees have survived for hundreds of years in the face of fire, storms and disease. But without help, they'll be no match for the chainsaws and bulldozers that could be headed their way.

That's where we come in -- and with your help, we know we can win meaningful results to defend our wild forests:

When Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins proposed opening 45 million acres of national forests to logging, mining and development, we teamed up with partners and allies to deliver more than 600,000 public comments from concerned citizens.1

When Sen. Mike Lee (Utah) tried to sell off parts of our national parks to the highest bidder, we rallied supporters like you to speak out -- and for now, he's withdrawn his proposal.2

When Congress tried to pass the so-called "Fix Our Forests Act," which would fast-track devastating amounts of logging in our national forests, we mobilized environmentalists across Colorado to speak out -- and for now, we've stopped the bill in the U.S. Senate.3

In the year ahead, we'll keep working around the clock to defend wild forests -- but we can't do it alone, John.

That's why generous donors are matching contributions, up to $100,000 nationwide, until midnight tonight. Double your impact by making your matched year-end gift today.

Thank you for being part of our team,

Ellen Montgomery
