Will you help keep our national forests wild, John?

Vast stretches of our national forests could be treated like tree farms.

In our country's wildest forests, trees soar up to 200 feet tall. Some of these trees have lived for centuries.

If we let the trees be chopped down, we'll lose some of the most remarkable living beings on Earth.

We're standing up for the trees, calling on the Forest Service to keep these forests wild. And until midnight, our generous donors are matching all donations up to $50,000 nationwide.

With just a few hours left on Earth Day, will you become a guardian for our forests? Your donation will have double the impact for the trees if you give before midnight.

Thank you for supporting wild forests this Earth Day,

Ellen Montgomery

John,

The Forest Service is on the verge of opening up 45 million acres of our most pristine national forests to logging, mining and road-building.1

This will be a catastrophe for hundreds of endangered species and countless beloved areas for hiking, camping and fishing.2 And once a forest is cut down, it will take a hundred years to grow back.

Environment Colorado is working to save our last wild forests -- and starting right now, our generous donors have agreed to match all Earth Day donations, up to $50,000 nationwide.

Will you make a donation to help protect our last wild national forests? All donations made before midnight tomorrow will be matched dollar for dollar.

America's national forests are a legacy of natural beauty passed down through the generations to be prized and protected.

But if the Forest Service's 45-million-acre rollback isn't stopped, our wild forests will be carved up by roads, logging and strip mines.

Our wild forests would be opened up for logging in Alaska's Tongass National Forest, in the Appalachian Mountains, and on the doorsteps of the Yellowstone, Olympic and Glacier National Parks.3

We need your help to save our old trees.

Will you make a donation to help defend our national forests? All gifts received by midnight on Earth Day will be matched, up to $50,000 nationwide.

Matching donations are an incredible way to maximize your impact by doubling the power of your gift. With today's match, every dollar you give unlocks another dollar to help save our wild forests. If you give $5, we'll get $10. If you give $50, we'll get $100.

But this offer lasts for only a limited time, so don't click delete or put it off. Now is the time to maximize your impact and claim your special donor match right now.

Make a donation before midnight tomorrow and claim your special donor match, up to $50,000 nationwide.

Thank you,

Ellen Montgomery
