2022 Fiscal Year-End not quite to 50,000 yet

Friend,

There are just a few hours left in our 2022 Fiscal Year-End Drive, and we're just a little bit short of our goal. This is an important time of year for us -- and as we determine how much work we can do in the fiscal year ahead, we need to know, are you with us?

Some of our most important campaigns are focused on protecting our forests, which provide habitat for wildlife, absorb vast amounts of global warming pollution, and are some of the oldest known living organisms on Earth.

And whether they're being clear-cut for softer toilet paper, cut down to make room for development, or burned by climate change-induced wildfires, our planet's forests are in serious trouble.

Trees can't defend themselves from these threats -- so that's where you come in. We're campaigning to save our forests, but we can't do it without your help.

When you donate before midnight, generous donors will match your gift dollar for dollar, doubling your impact up to $25,000 nationwide. Donate now.

Thank you for being a guardian for our forests,

Rex Wilmouth
Senior Program Director

Environment Colorado 2022 Fiscal Year-End Drive

Dear Friend,

North America was once covered in forests, but most of our older trees have been lost to logging. To make matters worse, ongoing timber sales and climate change are speeding up this loss.

Timber companies are still allowed to log in older forests. And with rising global temperatures come greater risk of wildfires, drought, extreme heat and invasive pests -- all events that can have profound impacts on some of our most biodiverse and healthy habitats.1

From ancient sequoias to centuries-old hemlocks, North America's older trees that are still standing on federal land need protection. Donate to our 2022 Fiscal Year-End Drive today to help save America's oldest forests.

Old-growth and mature trees capture carbon

and are essential habitat for wildlife

Take action today to protect the forests still standing.

If you donate by midnight tomorrow, generous donors will match your donation up to $25,000 nationwide. Your support allows us to continue our work in keeping mature and old-growth trees across the country standing tall.

Old-growth forests are irreplaceable habitat for numerous species and are natural carbon sponges that work to combat climate change. That's why we're campaigning for permanent protections for old-growth and mature forests on federal land and urging corporations to adopt more sustainable practices that leave older trees in forests like the boreal standing strong.

But none of this essential work defending our nation's forests would be possible without supporters like you.

Will you donate today?

Thank you,

Rex Wilmouth
Senior Program Director
